• Epidemic population structure of MBL-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Russia

  O.V. Shevchenko, M.V. Edelstein, METALL Study Group

  Previously, we described appearance of MBL-producing P. aeruginosa in Russia and characterized genetic context of MBL-coding genes among these strains. In this study, we further investigated the genetic relatedness between recent and previously isolated MBL-producing strains of P. aeruginosa in Russia.

• A comparative activity of fluoconazole (FLU) and voriconazole (VOR) against Candida isolates in Russia in 2004 and 2006

  A. Veselov, G. Kliasova, O. Kretchikova, N. Klimko, E. Agapova, S. Rozanova, L. Krainova, N. Dmitrieva, I. Multikh

  With the exception of C. glabrata and C. krusei, FLU remains highly active against Candida spp. with no temporal changes between 2004 and 2006. VOR retains high activity against Candida spp., also a two times increased MICs for C. tropicalis in 2006 may be of some concern.
