We aimed to assess the percentage of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus Spain.Thirty participating Spanish hospitals stored all morphologically identified A. sensu lato clinical isolates-regardless their significance-from 15 February 14 May 2019. Isolates showing according EUCAST 9.3.2 methodology were molecularly and cyp51A gene was studied stricto isolates.Eight hundred forty-seven isolates from 725 patients collected 29 (A. (n = 828) cryptic species 19)). mostly lower respiratory...
Antifungal resistance is increasing by the emergence of intrinsically resistant species and development secondary in susceptible species. A previous study performed Spain revealed levels azole molds between 10 12.7%, but Aspergillus fumigatus was not detected. We used itraconazole (ITZ)-supplemented medium to select strains. total 500 plates supplemented with 2 mg/liter ITZ were sent Spanish tertiary hospitals, molecular identification antifungal susceptibility testing performed.
