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 کاملAspergillus fumigatus strains with mutations in the cyp51A gene do not always show phenotypic resistance to itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole.
We performed molecular identification of 98 Aspergillus fumigatus complex isolates with MICs of 1 to 4 μg/ml for itraconazole and searched for the presence of mutations in cyp51A. Most of the isolates (91%) belonged to A. fumigatus sensu stricto. We found 14 different mutations in nine isolates at codons different from G54, M220, G138, G448, and L98. We report new mutations at positions 165, 26...
متن کاملDisruption of the Aspergillus fumigatus gene encoding nucleolar protein CgrA impairs thermotolerant growth and reduces virulence.
Aspergillus fumigatus CgrA is the ortholog of a yeast nucleolar protein that functions in ribosome synthesis. To determine how CgrA contributes to the virulence of A. fumigatus, a Delta cgrA mutant was constructed by targeted gene disruption, and the mutant was reconstituted to wild type by homologous introduction of a functional cgrA gene. The Delta cgrA mutant had the same growth rate as the ...
متن کاملEfficacy of posaconazole against three clinical Aspergillus fumigatus isolates with mutations in the cyp51A gene.
The in vivo efficacy of posaconazole against 4 clinical Aspergillus fumigatus isolates with posaconazole MICs ranging from 0.03 to 16 mg/liter, as determined by CLSI method M38A, was assessed in a nonneutropenic murine model of disseminated aspergillosis. The underlying resistance mechanisms of the isolates included substitutions in the cyp51A gene at codon 220 (M220I), codon 54 (G54W), and cod...
متن کاملA point mutation in the 14alpha-sterol demethylase gene cyp51A contributes to itraconazole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus.
The genes encoding 14alpha-sterol demethylases (cyp51A and cyp51B) were analyzed in 12 itraconazole (ITC)-resistant and three ITC-susceptible clinical isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus. Six ITC-resistant strains exhibited a substitution of another amino acid for glycine at position 54, which is located at a very conserved region of the Cyp51A protein. The cyp51A gene from the A. fumigatus wild-...
