In vitro antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species isolated from gastroesophageal candidiasis.

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: AIM: species isolated from gastroesophageal lesions. BACKGROUND: spp. isolated from gastroesophageal lesions. METHODS: spp. to seven antifungal agents, i.e. amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, luliconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and caspofungin, were evaluated using broth microdilution. RESULTS: isolates revealed 100% sensitivity to amphotericin B, caspofungin, and voriconazole. Moreover, fluconazole- (6.5%) and itraconazole-resistant (2.1%) isolates were observed. CONCLUSION: species, it is necessary to determine the in vitro antifungal susceptibility pattern of clinical isolates for the best management of infection and to prevent the emergence of drug resistant isolates.
