<strong>Etiologic Agents and Antifungal Susceptibility of Oral Candidosis from Romanian patients with HIV-infection or type 1 <em>diabetes mellitus</em></strong>
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2016, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
This is the first Romanian investigation of oral candidosis in patients suffering of HIV-infection or type 1 [i]diabetes mellitus[/i] (T1DM). [i]Candida albicans[/i] was the dominant species in both types of isolates: n = 14 (46.7%) in T1DM, n = 60 (69.8%) in HIV. The most frequent non-[i]albicans Candida [/i]spp. were [i]Candida kefyr[/i] (n = 6; 20%) in T1DM and [i]Candida dubliniensis[/i] (n = 8; 9.3%) in HIV. Resistance to fluconazole was detected only in the HIV non-[i]albicans Candida [/i]group (n = 8; 9.3%). All isolates were susceptible to VOR. The experimental drug MXP had MIC values equal or close to the ones of VOR. Echinocandin resistance was more frequent than azole resistance.
