Antifungal susceptibility patterns of opportunistic pathogens from the Aspergillus viridinutans complex (section Fumigati) determined by the EUCAST E.DEF 9.3 method and Sensititre YeastOne colorimetric antifungal panel

Original language description

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is one of the major fungal infections, causing high fatality rates among severely immunocompromised patients. Although the main etiologic agent of IA is Aspergillus fumigatus, other Aspergillus species belonging to section Fumigati (so-called cryptic species) may occasionally cause IA. These species are morphologically similar to each other and are often misidentified by conventional identification techniques. These A. fumigatus-related species often display some level of intrinsic resistance to azoles and other antifungal drugs. The A. viridinutans species complex (AVSC) contains morphologically similar, soil-inhabiting species that have increasingly been reported as opportunistic human and animal pathogens in recent years. Compared to A. fumigatus, AVSC species proved to be resistant to a wider variety of antifungal agents. Material and Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antifungal susceptibility patterns of 90 strains from the AVSC (27 A. felis, 17 A. udagawae, 15 A. wyomingensis, 13 A. arcoverdensis, 7 A. pseudoviridinutans, 5 Aspergillus spp., three A. aureolus, two A. siamensis, and one A. viridinutans) to seven antifungals (voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, amphotericin B, anidulafungin, micafungin and caspofungin).
