Opis:: Infections related to modern surgical procedures present a difficult problem for contemporary medicine. Infections acquired during surgery represent a risk factor related to therapeutical interventions. Eradication of microorganisms from hospital operating theatre environment may contribute to reduction of infections as the laminar flow air-conditioning considerably reduces the number of microorganisms in the hospital environment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of fungi in air-conditioned operating theatre rooms. The study was carried out in one of the hospitals in Kraków during December 2009. Indoor air samples and imprints from the walls were collected from five operating theatre rooms. A total of fifty indoor air samples were collected with a MAS-100 device, and twenty five imprints from the walls were collected using a Count Tact method. Fungal growth was observed in 48 air samples; the average numbers of fungi were within the range of 5–100 c.f.u. in one cubic metre of the air. Fungi were detected only in four samples of the wall imprints; the number of fungi was 0.01 c.f.u. per one square centimetre of the surface. The mould genus Aspergillus was most frequently isolated, and the species A. fumigatus and A. versicolor were the dominating ones. To ensure microbiological cleanness of hospital operating theatre, the air-conditioning system should be properly maintained. Domination of the Aspergillus fungi in indoor air as well as increase in the number of moulds in the samples taken in evenings (p<0.05) may suggest that the room decontamination procedures were neglected.

Opis:: The aim of the work was to compare adhesive properties of Candida albicans strains isolated from the oral cavity in HIV+ vs. HIV- persons. The materials were Candida albicans strains and buccal epithelial cells isolated from both HIV+ and HIV- persons. We applied the in vitro adherence test, primarily described by Kimura and Pearsall and modified by Macura. The strongest adherence was found between both fungi and epithelial cells isolated from a HIV+ person. The adherence of C. albicans isolated from HIV+ patients was significantly stronger to epithelium collected from HIV+ than HIV- persons.

Tytuł:: In vitro antifungal susceptibility testing of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis strains using agar diffusion method

Opis:: The genus Scopulariopsis is a common soil saprotroph and has been isolated from air, organic waste and also from plant, animal and human tissues. Scopulariopsis has mainly been associated in humans with superficial mycoses, but it has also been described as the cause of subcutaneous and invasive infections. The most common aetiological agent of infections in humans is Scopulariopsis brevicaulis. This species has been reported to be resistant in vitro to broad-spectrum antifungal agents available today. The aim of the study was to establish in vitro antifungal susceptibility of 35 S. brevicaulis strains against amphotericin B (AMB), flucytosine (FC), caspofungin (CAS), terbinafine (TER), ciclopirox (CIC), voriconazole (VOR), clotrimazole (CTR), miconazole (MCZ), econazole (ECO), ketoconazole (KET), itraconazole (ITR), and fluconazole (FLU). Antifungal susceptibility tests were evaluated by an agar diffusion method (Neo-Sensitabs, Rosco, Denmark). AMB, FC, CAS, ITR and FLU showed no antifungal activity against S. brevicaulis. TER, CIC, CTR, KET, VOR, ECO, and MCZ revealed inhibitory activity for S. brevicaulis, but it varied for each of the drugs. The best antifungal effect was observed for TER and CIC. All isolates had large inhibition zones for TER and CIC. CTR was also inhibitory for all tested S. brevicaulis isolates, but the diameters of inhibition zones were smaller than for TER and CIC. Nearly 89% isolates showed inhibition zones for KET and the mean diameter of the inhibition zone was comparable to CTR. The least antifungal activity exhibited VOR, ECO and MCZ. Because of the multiresistance of S. brevicaulis, infections due to this species may not respond to particular antifungal treatment and other therapeutic approaches should be considered e.g., combined therapy and/or surgery.

Opis:: Fifty four mould strains (32 Aspergillus and 22 Penicillium) isolated from clinical materials were tested using dilution method. Two test media were used: Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) and Czapek Dox (CD). The following drugs were tested: amorolfine, cyclopirox, itraconazole, and terbinafine. In the dilution method, the drugs were tested at four contrentrations: 0.1 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 10 mg/l, and 100 mg/l. No matter which medium and/or drug was used, terbinafine turned out to be most effective. The drug at a conceatration of 1 mg/l inhibited 88.9% of the strains in the CD medium. The MIC values in the YNB medium varied from 0,1 mg/l through 100 mg/1, however, 50% of the strains were inhibited at 1 mg/l or less. Itraconazole revealed a fairly good in vitro antifungal action, particularly in the CD medium: 77.8% of the strains were inhibited at 10 mg/l or less. Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus were most susceptible to itraconazole. The MIC values of cyclopirox amounted to 100 mg/l for all of the strains in the CD medium but not in the YNB where they varied from 1 mg/l to 100 mg/l. Amorolfine was the least effective drug. Most of the strains were inhibited at a concentration of at least 100 mg/l. The findings give evidence that the susceptibility of Aspergillus and Penicillium to the particular drugs is different, and that the results are influenced by the test medium.
