The efficacy of luliconazole and caspofungin on planktonic and biofilm of from different sources.

Background And Objectives: The ability of to produce biofilm is considered an important pathogenic factor. In addition, the low sensitivity of biofilms to antifungal drugs is a challenge for patients, clinicians, and laboratory workers. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of luliconazole and caspofungin on the planktonic and biofilm types of strains.

Evaluation of catalase activity of clinical and environmental isolates of species.

Background And Objectives: Catalases are a good scavenger of HO which degrades hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. They are considered as a virulence factor that are present in both spores and hypha of fungi. There is limited data regarding catalase activity in species.
