A simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the detection of posaconazole using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled to surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric detection (SALDI/MS) was developed. After the DLLME, posaconazole was detected using SALDI/MS with colloidal gold and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) as the co-matrix. Under optimal extraction and detection conditions, the calibration curve, which ranged from 1.0 to 100.0 nM for posaconazole, was observed to be linear. The limit of detection (LOD) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 was 0.3 nM for posaconazole. This novel method was successfully applied to the determination of posaconazole in human urine samples.

Background And Purpose: is the third most commonly isolated species from candidemia patients admitted to Indian intensive care units. Outbreak of infection and emergence of fluconazole resistance associated with this particular species has been increasingly documented since 2018. Worldwide data has documented that Y132F substitution in the gene is the predominant fluconazole resistance mechanism among .

Introduction: Mucormycosis is an acute onset, invasive, fungal infection, characterized by organ involvement, and caused by Mucor, Rhizopus, or Absidia. Our aim was to present a case of mucormycotic infection and emphasize its importance in a diabetic immunosuppressed patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old hypertensive and diabetic male patient with a diagnosis of AML developed respiratory failure and exhibited diffuse bilateral consolidation in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Any polymorphic conversion of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), even if partial, is likely to lead to changes in its efficiency and safety. Posaconazole, an antifungal drug, is detected as Form-S in the commercially available oral suspensions. However, a mixture of Form-S and the initial Form I is likely to coexist depending either on the manufacturing process of the suspensions and/or to the storage conditions of the suspension.

Article Synopsis
- Fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis is a growing concern in healthcare settings, leading to outbreaks similar to those caused by Candida auris, with a notable outbreak documented in Berlin from late 2018 through 2022.
- A retrospective study employed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to analyze samples from various healthcare facilities to track the spread and resistance patterns of this pathogen.
- The research aimed to create a reliable multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) system to better understand and monitor the outbreak, using patient records and genomic data to analyze transmission dynamics.
