Molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility of otomycosis agents in Shiraz, Iran: predominance of Aspergillus tubingensis
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study identified fungal agents of otomycosis (fungal ear infection) in Shiraz, Iran, with Aspergillus tubingensis predominant.
- The study reports molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility testing of the isolates.
- The source feed provided no summary, so further specific findings are not available from the sources.
Why it matters
The study adds regional data on which fungi cause ear infections and how they respond to antifungal drugs, which can inform clinical treatment choices in similar settings.
