Azole Resistance in Dermatophytes: Prevalence and Mechanism of Action.
نویسنده
چکیده
Azole antifungal agents (eg, fluconazole and itraconazole) have been widely used to treat superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophytes and, unlike the allylamines (such as terbinafine and naftifine), have been associated with resistance development. Although many published manuscripts describe resistance to azoles among yeast and molds, reports describing resistance of dermatophytes are starting to appear. In this review, I discuss the mode of action of azole antifungals and mechanisms underlying their resistance compared with the allylamine class of compounds. Data from published and original studies were compared and summarized, and their clinical implications are discussed. In contrast to the cidal allylamines, static drugs such as azoles permit the occurrence of mutations in enzymes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis, and the ergosterol precursors accumulating as a consequence of azole action are not toxic. Azole antifungals, unlike allylamines, potentiate resistance development in dermatophytes.

Sir, Azole resistance is an emerging clinical problem in patients with Aspergillus infections, primarily those caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Alanio et al. describe the results of a study that investigated the prevalence of azole resistance in 118 clinical Aspergillus isolates obtained from a cohort of 89 patients with haematological malignancy. They found only one azole-resistant A. fumigatu...

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...
