A Comprehensive Review of Identification Methods for Pathogenic Yeasts: Challenges and Approaches.

Given the increasing incidence of yeast infections and the presence of drug-resistant isolates, accurate identification of the pathogenic yeasts is essential for the management of yeast infections. In this review, we tried to introduce the routine and novel techniques applied for yeast identification. Laboratory identification methods of pathogenic yeast are classified into three categories; I.

Bacterial and fungal coinfections among patients with COVID-19 in Zanjan, Northwest of Iran; a single-center observational with meta-analysis of the literature.

Background And Objectives: There is a poor understanding about the prevalence and characteristics of secondary bacterial and fungal infections among Coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) superinfection in hospitalized patients.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred COVID-19-proven patients were enrolled in this study. Nasal swabs for molecular assay (Real-time PCR) and sputum samples for further microbiological assays were collected.

Effect of benomyl and diazinon on acquired azole resistance in and expression of and genes.

Background And Purpose: is an important pathogen in immunodeficient patients. Due to the abundance of this fungus in nature, fungicides are commonly used to preserve and maintain agricultural products. Long-term exposure to these pesticides can lead to the induction of drug resistance in this fungus.

Morphological changes and induction of antifungal resistance in due to different CO2 levels.

Background And Purpose: Aspergillosis is one of the most common opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised and neutropenic patients. () is the most common causative agent of this infection. Due to variable CO concentrations that pathogens are exposed to during the infection process and to understand the role of CO, we examined the effects of various CO concentrations as one of the environmental factors on morphological changes and induction of antifungal resistance in .

Highly cadmium tolerant fungi: their tolerance and removal potential.

Background: Soil and effluent of lead and zinc industries contain high concentration of cadmium. The present study was conducted to isolate tolerant fungal strains from cadmium -polluted sites in Zanjan province, Iran.

Methods: Cadmium tolerance and bioremediation capacity of seven isolates including Aspergilus versicolor, Aspergillus fumigatus, Paecilomyces sp.
