During 48 hours, yeasts (Malassezia furfur) are brought into contact with a new antifungal agent of broad antifungal spectrum, amorolfine, used with the following concentrations: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 micrograms/ml. After centrifugation, pellets are fixed, using the conventional technique of electron microscopy. Although the cell wall seems intact, the changes observed at the level of the cytoplasm and of the cell organels can be compared to those observed in blastospores of C. albicans. This analogy of activity of amorolfine and of azole derivatives is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008290 Malassezia A mitosporic fungal genus that causes a variety of skin disorders. Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum orbiculare) causes TINEA VERSICOLOR. Pityrosporum,Pityrosporum ovale,Saccharomyces ovalis,Malassezia furfur,Pityrosporum orbiculare
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
D009025 Morpholines Tetrahydro-1,4-Oxazines,Tetrahydro 1,4 Oxazines
D000935 Antifungal Agents Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues. Anti-Fungal Agents,Antifungal Agent,Fungicides, Therapeutic,Antibiotics, Antifungal,Therapeutic Fungicides,Agent, Antifungal,Anti Fungal Agents,Antifungal Antibiotics
