In vitro activity of fluvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering agent, and synergy with flucanazole and itraconazole against Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans.

Chin, N X, Weitzman, I, Della-Latta, P

Fluvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering drug, exhibited minimal activity (MICs of 64 to >128 microg/ml) against Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans. When fluvastatin was combined with fluconazole...

The dermatophytes.

Weitzman, I, Summerbell, R C

The etiologic agents of the dermatophytoses (ringworm) are classified in three anamorphic (asexual or imperfect) genera, Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. Species capable of reproducing...

Zygospores: the last word in identification of rare or atypical zygomycetes isolated from clinical specimens.

Weitzman, I, Whittier, S, McKitrick, J C, Della-Latta, P

Three zygomycetes (order Mucorales), isolated from clinical specimens, whose generic or species identification were uncertain, were definitively identified on the basis of the production of...

Multicenter evaluation of proposed standardized procedure for antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi.

Espinel-Ingroff, A, Bartlett, M, Bowden, R, Chin, N X, Cooper, C, Fothergill, A, ...

A multicenter study was conducted to expand the generation and analysis of data that supports the proposal of a reference method for the antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi. Broth...

Mucor ramosissimus Samutsevitsch isolated from a thigh lesion.

Weitzman, I, Della-Latta, P, Housey, G, Rebatta, G

Mucor ramosissimus Samutsevitsch is presented for the first time as an etiologic agent of cutaneous zygomycosis in a patient with aplastic anemia on immunosuppressive therapy. This report also...

Evaluation of trichophyton agars for identification of Trichophyton soudanense.

Weitzman, I, Salkin, I F, Rosenthal, S A

Studies of three monoconidial subcultures of each of 10 isolates of Trichophyton soudanense on seven trichophyton agars revealed variations in growth among the subcultures of each isolate and among...

Rhizopus rhizopodiformis: emerging etiological agent of mucormycosis.

Bottone, E J, Weitzman, I, Hanna, B A

Mucormycosis is caused principally by members of the genus Rhizopus, especially R arrhizus and R. oryzae. Infection attributable to R. rhizopodiformis has rarely been documented. Of 13 cases of...

Pneumonia caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae complicating chronic lymphatic leukemia.

Kiehn, T E, Edwards, F, Armstrong, D, Rosen, P P, Weitzman, I

A case of pneumonia caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae is described in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia. The species of Cunninghamella, a genus in the order Mucorales, are characterized...

Mycobacterium thermoresistibile: a new pathogen for humans.

Weitzman, I, Osadczyi, D, Corrado, M L, Karp, D

The first evidence of the potential pathogenicity of Mycobacterium thermoresistibile is presented. This mycobacterium, initially identified as Mycobacterium gordonae, was isolated repeatedly from...
