[Pulmonary mycoses; laboratory diagnosis, antimycotic therapy]. 1977

K Bartmann

The microscopic, cultural and serological techniques for the diagnosis of European and non-European systemic mycoses involving the respiratory tract are reviewed. The antimicrobial, therapeutic and toxic properties of those antimycotic drugs are discussed, which can be used in the treatment of pulmonary mycoses. Data on biotransformation, kinetics and dosage are reported.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007093	Imidazoles	Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).

D009761	Nystatin	Macrolide antifungal antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces noursei, S. aureus, and other Streptomyces species. The biologically active components of the complex are nystatin A1, A2, and A3.	Fungicidin,Mycostatin,Nilstat,Nystatin A1,Nystatin A2,Nystatin A3,Nystatin G,Stamicin,Stamycin
D010866	Natamycin	Amphoteric macrolide antifungal antibiotic from Streptomyces natalensis or S. chattanoogensis. It is used for a variety of fungal infections, mainly topically.	Pimaricin,Tennecetin,Myprozine,Pimafucin
D003022	Clotrimazole	An imidazole derivative with a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity. It inhibits biosynthesis of the sterol ergostol, an important component of fungal CELL MEMBRANES. Its action leads to increased membrane permeability and apparent disruption of enzyme systems bound to the membrane.	Bay b 5097,Canesten,FB b 5097,Kanesten,Klotrimazole,Lotrimin,Mycelex
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).
