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 کاملSensitisation of an Azole-Resistant Aspergillus fumigatus Strain containing the Cyp51A-Related Mutation by Deleting the SrbA Gene
Azoles are widely used for controlling fungal growth in both agricultural and medical settings. The target protein of azoles is CYP51, a lanosterol 14-α-demethylase involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. Recently, a novel azole resistance mechanism has arisen in pathogenic fungal species Aspergillus fumigatus. Resistant strains contain a 34-bp or 46-bp tandem repeat (TR) in the promoter of...
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 کاملIs azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus a problem in Spain?
Aspergillus fumigatus complex comprises A. fumigatus and other morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species. We retrospectively studied 362 A. fumigatus complex isolates (353 samples) from 150 patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis or aspergilloma (2, 121, and 6 samples, respectively) admitted to the hospital from 1999 to 2011. Isolates were identified using the β-tubulin ...
متن کاملMultiple cyp51A-based mechanisms identified in azole-resistant isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus from China.
Seventy-two A. fumigatus clinical isolates from China were investigated for azole resistance based on mutations of cyp51A. We identified four azole-resistant strains, among which we found three strains highly resistant to itraconazole, two of which exhibit the TR34/L98H/S297T/F495I mutation, while one carries only the TR34/L98H mutation. To our knowledge, the latter has not been found previousl...
