In vitro echinocandin susceptibility of Aspergillus isolates from patients enrolled in the Transplant-Associated Infection Surveillance Network.

چکیده
We determined the echinocandin minimum effective concentration (MEC) values for caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin against 288 Aspergillus isolates prospectively collected from transplant patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis between 2001 and 2006 as part of the Transplant-Associated Infection Surveillance Network (TRANSNET). We demonstrated that the vast majority of Aspergillus isolates had MEC values at or below the epidemiological cutoff values for caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin, including those from patients who had received caspofungin.

Results from the SENTRY international fungal surveillance program for 2006 to 2007 are presented. A total of 1,448 Candida sp., 49 Aspergillus fumigatus, and 33 Cryptococcus neoformans isolates were obtained from infected sterile-site sources in patients on five continents. Reference susceptibility was determined for anidulafungin, caspofungin, 5-flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, posacona...
