Drug susceptibility tests were performed with a series of Candida spp. in media supplemented with serum or bile. The azole susceptibilities of several medically important Candida spp., including C. albicans but not C. parapsilosis, were significantly reduced in supplemented media. These findings have important implications for the mechanisms of acquired azole resistance in pathogenic fungi.
To investigate azole resistance in clinical Aspergillus isolates, we conducted prospective multicenter international surveillance. A total of 3,788 Aspergillus isolates were screened in 22 centers from 19 countries. Azole-resistant A. fumigatus was more frequently found (3.2% prevalence) than previously acknowledged, causing resistant invasive and noninvasive aspergillosis and severely compromi...
Histatins are a group of small, cationic, antifungal peptides present in human saliva. A previous molecular modeling analysis suggested structural similarity between the Phe14-His15 and His18-His19 dipeptide sequences in histatin-5 (Hsn-5; a 24-amino-acid polypeptide) and the sequence of miconazole (one of the azole-based antifungal therapeutic agents), implying that the mechanisms of killing o...
Miconazole is widely used in prescription and non-prescription products, including extensive use for vaginal yeast infections; in addition to medical use, azole molecules are widely used in agriculture. Despite this widespread use, the only known circumstances in which resistance to azole antifungal agents has developed conspicuously, unequivocally and measurably is among HIV-infected individua...
A French farmer developed invasive aspergillosis with azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus with the TR34/L98H mutation following a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He had worked in fungicide-sprayed fields where a non-genetically related A. fumigatus TR34/L98H isolate was collected. If azole resistance detection increases, voriconazole as first-line therapy might be questioned in agric...
Infections caused by pan-azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strains have emerged in Europe and recently in the United States. Physicians specializing in infectious diseases reported observing pan-azole-resistant infections and low rates of susceptibility testing, suggesting the need for wider-scale testing.
Hsp90 potentiates the evolution of azole resistance in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans via calcineurin. Here, we explored effectors downstream of calcineurin regulating this Hsp90-dependent trait. Using S. cerevisiae erg3 mutants as a model, we determined that both Crz1 and Hph1 modulate azole resistance.
We report the first isolation of a voriconazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strain harbouring the azole resistance mechanism TR46/Y121F/T289A, recovered from an azole-naive patient in Spain with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This new finding in Spain suggests the spread of this resistance mechanism and reinforces the need for antifungal susceptibility surveillance.
Azoles are widely used antifungal drugs. This family of compounds includes triazoles, mostly used in the treatment of systemic infections, and imidazoles, such as clotrimazole, often used in the case of superficial infections. Candida glabrata is the second most common cause of candidemia worldwide and presents higher levels of intrinsic azole resistance when compared with Candida albicans, thu...
Candida dubliniensis is a recently identified yeast species primarily associated with oral carriage and infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The species can be divided into at least four genotypes on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of the rRNA operon. Previous studies have shown that a small number of clinical is...
