cyp51A-based mechanisms of Aspergillus fumigatus azole
72 Since the mid-1990s, a steady increase in the occurrence of itraconazole resistant Aspergillus 73 fumigatus isolates has been observed in clinical contexts leading to therapeutic failure in the 74 treatment of aspergillosis. This increase has been predominantly linked to a single allele of 75 the cyp51A gene, termed ‘TR/L98H’ which is thought to have arisen through the use of 76 agricultural...
متن کاملAzole resistance profile of amino acid changes in Aspergillus fumigatus CYP51A based on protein homology modeling.
Molecular studies have shown that the majority of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is associated with amino acid substitutions in the cyp51A gene. To obtain insight into azole resistance mutations, the cyp51A gene of 130 resistant and 76 susceptible A. fumigatus isolates was sequenced. Out of 130 azole-resistant isolates, 105 contained a tandem repeat of 34 bp in the promoter region an...
متن کاملEmergence of Azole Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus and Spread of a Single Resistance Mechanism
BACKGROUND Resistance to triazoles was recently reported in Aspergillus fumigatus isolates cultured from patients with invasive aspergillosis. The prevalence of azole resistance in A. fumigatus is unknown. We investigated the prevalence and spread of azole resistance using our culture collection that contained A. fumigatus isolates collected between 1994 and 2007. METHODS AND FINDINGS We inve...
متن کاملAzole susceptibility in clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus from eastern Hokkaido, Japan.
Azole antifungals are used not only clinically for fungal infections but also used as agricultural fungicides. Recently, azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus containing a tandem repeat in the promoter region of cyp51A combined with amino acid substitution(s) appears in the environment in Eurasia, especially in several European countries. Although azole fungicides have been used in Japan, espec...
متن کاملDevelopment of novel PCR assays to detect azole resistance-mediating mutations of the Aspergillus fumigatus cyp51A gene in primary clinical samples from neutropenic patients.
The increasing incidence of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus causing invasive aspergillosis (IA) in immunocompromised/hematological patients emphasizes the need to improve the detection of resistance-mediating cyp51A gene mutations from primary clinical samples, particularly as the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is rarely based on a positive culture yield in this group of patients...
