Initial Results of the International Efforts in Screening New Agents against Ca...
Poester, Vanice Rodrigues; Munhoz, Lívia Silveira; Benelli, Jéssica Louise; Melo, Aryse Martins; Al-Hatmi, Abdullah M.S.; Larwood, David J.Background: Candida auris is an emergent fungal pathogen and a global concern, mostly due to its resistance to many currently available antifungal drugs. Objective: Thus, in response to this challenge, we evaluated the in vitro activity of potential new drugs, diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 and nikkomycin Z (nikZ), alone and in association with currently available antifungals (azoles, echinocandins, and polyenes) ...
Diphenyl diselenide and its interaction with antifungals against Aspergillus spp
Melo, Aryse Martins; Poester, Vanice Rodrigues; Trapaga, Mariana; Nogueira, Cristina Wayne; Zeni, Gilson; Martinez, Marife; Sass, GabrieleGiven the few antifungal classes available to treat aspergillosis, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 alone and in combination with classical antifungals against Aspergillus spp., and its in vivo activity in a systemic experimental aspergillosis model. We performed in vitro broth microdilution assay of (PhSe)2 against 32 Aspergillus isolates; and a check...
Antifungal susceptibility of 175 Aspergillus isolates from various clinical and...
Sabino, Raquel; Carolino, Elisabete; Veríssimo, Cristina; Martinez, Marife; Clemons, Karl V.; Stevens, David A.Some environmental Aspergillus spp. isolates have been described as resistant to antifungals, potentially causing an emerging medical problem. In the present work, the antifungal susceptibility profile of 41 clinical and 134 environmental isolates of Aspergillus was determined using the CLSI microdilution method. The aim of this study was to compare environmental and clinical isolates with respect to their susc...
