| Culture-positive invasive aspergillosis in a medical center in Taiwan, 2000-2009. | We reviewed 776 patients who were culture positive for Aspergillus species at the hospital from 2000 to 2009. The isolates were collected for species identification by oligonucleotide hybridization and sequence analysis. A total of 96 cases of proven or probable IA were identified according to published criteria. The incidence of IA has increased significantly during the study period. Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus (41.7% each) were equally prevalent causative species. IA due to unusual spe ... | 2011 | 21997774 |
| antifungal susceptibilities of clinical isolates of candida species, cryptococcus neoformans, and aspergillus species from taiwan: surveillance of multicenter antimicrobial resistance in taiwan program data from 2003. | the susceptibilities of nonduplicate isolates to six antifungal agents were determined for 391 blood isolates of seven candida species, 70 clinical isolates (from blood or cerebrospinal fluid) of cryptococcus neoformans, and 96 clinical isolates of four aspergillus species, which were collected in seven different hospitals in taiwan (as part of the 2003 program of the study group surveillance of multicenter antimicrobial resistance in taiwan). all isolates of candida species other than c. glabra ... | 2005 | 15673726 |
| azole-resistant aspergillus fumigatus isolates carrying tr₃₄/l98h mutations in taiwan. | cumulative evidence described the emergence and geographical expansion of azole-resistant a. fumigatus associated with azole treatment failure. to investigate the status of azole resistance in a. fumigatus in taiwan, we studied 38 a. fumigatus clinical isolates cultivated from 31 patients at two teaching hospitals from 2011 to 2014. three isolates obtained from respiratory samples of two azole-naïve patients with pulmonary aspergillosis were found to display multi-azole resistance and cross resi ... | 2015 | 26214171 |
| application of thermotolerant microorganisms for biofertilizer preparation. | intensive agriculture is practised in taiwan, and compost application is very popular as a means of improving the soil physical properties and supplying plant nutrition. we tested the potential of inoculation with thermotolerant microorganisms to shorten the maturity and improve the quality of biofertilizer prepared by composting. | 2007 | 18087625 |
