The in vitro susceptibilities of 24 worldwide Exserohilum isolates belonging to 10 species from human and environmental sources were determined for eight antifungal drugs. The strains were characterized by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing and amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting. Posaconazole had the lowest geometric mean MIC (0.16 μg/ml), followed by micafungin (0.21 μg/ml), amphotericin B (0.24 μg/ml), itraconazole (0.33 μg/ml), voriconazole (0.8 μg/ml), caspofungin (1.05 μg/ml), isavuconazole (1.38 μg/ml), and fluconazole (15.6 μg/ml).

Treatment of symptomatic cyclosporine-induced gingival hyperplasia can be challenging, especially if continued use of cyclosporine is necessary for adequate control of the underlying disease. We outline a simplified approach for conservatively managing cyclosporine-induced gingival hyperplasia using azithromycin and chlorhexidine.

İnsanlığın karşı karşıya kaldığı en önemli halk sağlığı sorunlarından biri olan ilaç direnci, antilayşmanyal ajan geliştirmede yeni stratejileri ve yaklaşımları zorunlu kılmaktadır. Dışa atım pompa inhibitörleri (DAPİ) ve diğer aday ajanlar ile ilgili gelişmeler umut verici olmakla birlikte, mevcut antilayşmanyallerin kullanım sürelerini ve etkinliklerini artırabilme arayışları da devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada rezerpin (REZ), berberin (BER) ve verapamil (VER) olmak üzere üç adet DAPİ'nin antilayşmanyallere etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
