Evaluation of antifungal therapy in a neutropenic murine model of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum infection.

Abstract:

:We evaluated the efficacy of amphotericin B (1.5mg/kg/day), voriconazole (60mg/kg/day) and posaconazole (60mg/kg/day) in a murine model of systemic infection caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. All the treatments were able to prolong survival and to reduce the tissue burden in the spleen and kidneys of infected mice. Neither voriconazole nor posaconazole improved the results achieved with amphotericin B.

  • Variability of piperacillin concentrations in relation to tazobactam concentrations in critically ill patients.

    abstract::Therapeutic drug monitoring for critically ill patients receiving piperacillin/tazobactam is described as a useful tool. However, the minimum inhibitory concentration of piperacillin depends on a sufficiently high concentration of tazobactam in case of β-lactamase-producing strains. Therefore, the relationship between...
