Comparison of in vitro Susceptibilities of in Mold and Yeast Forms in Malaysia.

Purpose: This study was aimed to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) differences between yeast and mold forms of in Malaysia.

Patients And Methods: Ninety-seven clinical strains of were received from various Malaysian hospitals from the year 2020 until 2022. Their identities were determined using microscopic, macroscopic and molecular methods.

Molecular epidemiology of Sporothrix schenkii isolates in Malaysia.

Sporothrix schenkii is a dimorphic fungus that causes infections in both humans and animals. We report on 25 S. schenkii isolates collected in 2017 from humans and cats clinically diagnosed with sporotrichosis, in Malaysia.

Draft Genome Sequence of Candida pseudohaemulonii Isolated from the Blood of a Neutropenic Patient.

is phylogenetically close to the complex and exhibits resistance to amphotericin B and azole agents. We report here the draft genome sequence of UZ153_17 isolated from the blood culture of a neutropenic patient. The draft genome is 3,532,003,666 bp in length, with 579,838 reads, 130 contigs, and a G+C content of 47.

A Fatal Case of Candida auris and Candida tropicalis Candidemia in Neutropenic Patient.

We report a fatal case of Candida auris that was involved in mixed candidemia with Candida tropicalis, isolated from the blood of a neutropenic patient. Identification of both isolates was confirmed by amplification and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer and D1/D2 domain of large subunit in rRNA gene. Antifungal susceptibility test by E-test method revealed that C.
