[Resistance problems in treatment of vaginal mycoses? (author's transl)]. 1980

H Spitzbart

The authors isolated 135 yeasts from patients who had undergone repeated treatment for mycoses. Analyses were made to determine resistance to Nystatin and Clotrimazol. Secondary resistance was exhibited by Candida species, but their pathogenicity still is controversial.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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
D002175	Candida	A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).	Candida guilliermondii var. nitratophila,Candida utilis,Cyberlindnera jadinii,Hansenula jadinii,Lindnera jadinii,Monilia,Pichia jadinii,Saccharomyces jadinii,Torula utilis,Torulopsis utilis,Monilias
D002181	Candidiasis, Vulvovaginal	Infection of the VULVA and VAGINA with a fungus of the genus CANDIDA.

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).
