Azole Resistance in Aspergillus Species Isolated from Clinical Samples: A Nine-Year Single-Center Study in Turkey (2015–2023)

mycolabadmin

This study examined azole antifungal resistance in fungal infections from a Turkish hospital over nine years. Researchers tested 200 Aspergillus fungal isolates and found that 7% showed resistance to azole medications, with 11% of Aspergillus fumigatus showing resistance. The findings highlight the ongoing challenge of drug-resistant fungal infections and the importance of monitoring resistance patterns to improve treatment decisions for serious fungal infections.

In vitro activity of SF001: a next-generation polyene versus amphotericin B

mycolabadmin

This study tested a new antifungal drug called SF001 against a well-established antifungal called amphotericin B. Researchers tested both drugs against common fungal infections affecting vulnerable patients. SF001 was found to work as well as or better than amphotericin B, particularly against harder-to-treat Aspergillus fungi, while potentially causing fewer side effects.
