First detection of Aspergillus fumigatus azole-resistant strain due to Cyp51A TR46/Y121F/T289A in an azole-naive patient in Spain
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.
متن کاملAspergillus fumigatus harbouring the sole Y121F mutation shows decreased susceptibility to voriconazole but maintained susceptibility to itraconazole and posaconazole.
OBJECTIVES Voriconazole, itraconazole and posaconazole are members of the azole family and widely used for the treatment of aspergillosis. They act by inhibiting the activity of the fungal Cyp51A enzyme. The emergence of environmental azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strains raises major concerns for human health. METHODS Recently, a new cyp51A-mediated resistance mechanism (namely TR46/...
متن کاملAspergillosis due to voriconazole highly resistant Aspergillus fumigatus and recovery of genetically related resistant isolates from domiciles.
BACKGROUND Azole resistance is an emerging problem in Aspergillus fumigatus and complicates the management of patients with Aspergillus-related diseases. Selection of azole resistance may occur through exposure to azole fungicides in the environment. In the Netherlands a surveillance network was used to investigate the epidemiology of resistance selection in A. fumigatus. METHODS Clinical A. ...
متن کاملFirst description of azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus due to TR46/Y121F/T289A mutation in France.
Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is an emerging public health concern. Recently, a novel fungicide-driven mutation in the cyp51A gene and its promoter, TR46/Y121F/T289A, leading to high-level resistance to voriconazole has been identified in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Tanzania, and India in both clinical and environmental samples. Here we report the first description o...
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...
