The ARTEMIS Global Antifungal Susceptibility Program provides the collection of epidemiological data and the results of the fluconazole and voriconazole susceptibility testing of yeast isolates. Participating in this study, a total of 7318 clinical yeast isolates were tested from different geographical areas in Hungary in the period 2001 to 2003. The species isolated most frequently was C. albicans (68.8%), followed by C. glabrata (11.8%), C. tropicalis (5.7%) and C. krusei (4.6%). Isolates of C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. lusitaniae, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis were highly susceptible to fluconazole (78.9-100%). The rates of isolation of fluconazole-resistant C. glabrata and C. krusei were higher in our study than the global mean in 2001 (28.2% and 87.5% vs. 18.3% and 70.2%, respectively). Differences were detected in the distribution of fluconazole-susceptibility data of C. glabrata isolates in the different counties of Hungary: most of the resistant isolates were observed in the eastern part of the country. 相似文献

Comparison of disk diffusion test and Etest for voriconazole and fluconazole susceptibility testing 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The distribution for voriconazole and fluconazole susceptibility was determined by Etest and disk diffusion test in 143 clinical isolates. The majority of the strains of Aspergillus spp., Candida krusei, C. inconspicua, C norvegensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae displayed resistance or decreased susceptibility to fluconazole in contrast to voriconazole. The absolute categorical agreement for voriconazole and fluconazole susceptibility results by the disk method and Etest was 90.5 and 74.8 % respectively. The error rate bounding analysis showed only 0.7 % of false susceptible results ( very major error) with voriconazole, but 2.8 % with fluconazole. Fluconazole can be used as a surrogate factor to predict voriconazole susceptibility but with lower reliability for susceptible-dose dependent and resistance category, especially in Candida glabrata isolates. The results of the disk method were not substantially influenced by the composition of media (Mueller-Hinton agar vs antimycotic Sensitivity Test agar), even if with the latter the results had fewer tendencies to produce false susceptibility of C.glabrata isolates to both of the triazole drugs. Disk test as well as Etest were shown to represent suitable methods for routine evaluation of susceptibility of clinical isolates of pathogenic fungi, including aspergilli, to fluconazole and voriconazole. 相似文献

Infections caused by treatment-resistant non-albicans Candida species, such as C. tropicalis, has increased, which is an emerging challenge in the management of fungal infections. Genetically related diploid sequence type (DST) strains of C. tropicalis exhibiting reduced susceptibility to fluconazole circulated widely in Taiwan. To identify the potential source of these wildly distributed DST strains, we investigated the possibility of the presence in soil of such C. tropicalis strains by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and DST typing methods. A total of 56 C. tropicalis isolates were recovered from 26 out of 477 soil samples. Among the 18 isolates with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole, 9 belonged to DST149 and 3 belonged to DST140. Both DSTs have been recovered from our previous studies on clinical isolates from the Taiwan Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance of Yeasts (TSARY) program. Furthermore, these isolates were more resistant to agricultural azoles. We have found genetically related C. tropicalis exhibiting reduced susceptibility to fluconazole from the human hosts and environmental samples. Therefore, to prevent patients from acquiring C. tropicalis with reduced susceptibility to azoles, prudent use of azoles in both clinical and agricultural settings is advocated. 相似文献

The effectiveness of the potent antifungal drug fluconazole is being compromised by the rise of drug-resistant fungal pathogens. While inhibition of Hsp90 or calcineurin can reverse drug resistance in Candida, such inhibitors also impair the homologous human host protein and fungal-selective chemosensitizers remain rare. The MLPCN library was screened to identify compounds that selectively reverse fluconazole resistance in a Candida albicans clinical isolate, while having no antifungal activity when administered as a single agent. A piperazinyl quinoline was identified as a new small-molecule probe (ML189) satisfying these criteria. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the immunopotentiating activity of the immunomodulator tuftsin for the treatment of dose-dependent susceptible Candida albicans infection in a murine model. Our results demonstrated that tuftsin increases the susceptibility of C. albicans to phagocytosis by activating murine macrophages. Fluconazole used for the treatment of mice infected with C. albicans showed less in vivo efficacy and proved to be ineffective in the elimination of the infection from leukopenic mice even at higher doses. However, the antifungal activity of fluconazole against the same isolate of C. albicans significantly increased in tuftsin-pretreated mice and resulted in an improved survival rate in mice. The treated mice also showed less severity of infection as supported by a reduced fungal burden in their kidneys. This study indicates that the use of immunopotentiating substances can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of azole antifungal agents and thus can effectively combat azole-resistant fungal pathogens under conditions of immunosuppression. 相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is a widespread human pathogen. One the most striking characteritics of this bacterium is resistance to methicillin and all beta-lactam antibiotics. The agar disk diffusion method is the most widely used in vitro susceptibility test, but recently molecular methods, e.g. Polymerase Chain Reaction, have been also introduced. We compared the detection of methicillin resistant coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical materials in Silesian microbiological laboratories by diffusion method and PCR through the detection of nuc and mec A genes. Our results show that PCR used for the detection of mec A gene increases the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains by 10% as compared to the agar disk diffusion method. Among Staphylococcus aureus strains, detected as methicillin-resistant, 17% of organisms showed no presence of mec A gene. 相似文献

Background: The aims of this study were to compare disk diffusion with E‐test method for levofloxacin susceptibility testing of Helicobacter pylori and standardized breakpoints for disk diffusion as a stable and reliable method for determining qualitative levofloxacin susceptibility. Materials and Methods: We determined the levofloxacin susceptibility of 45 H. pylori strains isolated from Chinese patients by the E‐test method. Disk diffusion was evaluated as an alternative method to determine susceptibility and compared with the E‐test results by linear regression analysis. Results: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values tested by E‐test method ranged from 0.047 to 32 μg/mL. Resistance to levofloxacin was detected in 16 (35.6%) isolates. The levofloxacin disk zone sizes obtained by disk diffusion method correlated well (r2 = .877) with the MICs obtained by E‐test method. As a consequence of regression analysis, isolates with inhibition diameters <12 mm were considered resistant to levofloxacin. There was 100% agreement between the two methods for levofloxacin, applying the regression‐based breakpoints. Conclusions: The disk diffusion method is equivalent to the E‐test method for testing levofloxacin susceptibility of H. pylori strains; it is more practical and inexpensive, and it is suitable for the analysis of a small number of isolates compared with the E‐test method. 相似文献

Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen of human mucosal surfaces. Colonization of oral and vaginal mucosa by this yeast is antagonized by the resident normal bacterial population. However, antibacterial therapy can alter the normal flora to allow fungal cells to attach, grow and invade host tissues. We studied the antimicrobic activity of fluconazole against clinical isolates of oral and vaginal bacteria and Candida albicans in vitro and in vivo by scanning and transmission electron microscopy; we also compared the bactericidal activity of fluconazole with clotrimazole in vitro by microbiologie assay. Fluconazole lysed fungi but did not change the ultrastructure of bacteria. Clotrimazole, but not fluconazole, was bactericidal against lactobacillus and streptococcus, the principal species of the oral and vaginal cavities. We conclude that Candida albicans, but not oral and vaginal bacteria, is susceptible to fluconazole. These observations help explain the antimycotic specificity of fluconazole and its efficacy against candidiasis in humans. 相似文献

The killing of Candida species by human neutrophils in a long-term 24-h assay and possible synergy with fluconazole (FCZ) for killing was investigated. The test medium (TM) consisted of RPMI-1640, penicillin and streptomycin (P/S), and 10% fresh autologous serum. TM alone was highly fungistatic for Candida species compared to TM without serum. When neutrophils were cocultured in TM with Candida species for 24 h the inoculum colony-forming units (CFU) were always significantly reduced (killing) by 58 to 99%. FCZ was tested over a range of 1–500 g/ml, and though almost always fungistatic itself, it synergized with neutrophils for significantly increased killing of C. albicans (isolate Sh27) (P<0.01) and C. albicans (isolate 94-20) (P<0.05). Killing of non-albicans Candida species was so efficient in the absence of FCZ that demonstration of synergy with FCZ was difficult. 相似文献

The susceptibility of organisms of the speciesCandida to sulfamethoxazole were tested in-vitro using the disc sensitivity method.Under specified conditions a zone of growth inhibition surrounding sulfamethoxazole tablet sensi disc was consistently produced in cultures ofCandida albicans, Candida stellatoidea andSaccharomyces cervisiae.Diameters of growth inhibition zone were measured and found to be greatest in cultures ofCandida stellatoidea andSaccharomyces, but growth inhibition inCandida albicans cultures was observed to a lesser degree.The correlation between in vivo pathogenicity of organisms of the speciesCandida, and degree of growth inhibition by sulfamethoxazole sensi disc presents an interesting relationship. 相似文献

Candida glabrata is one of the most frequent organisms isolated from superficial and invasive fungal infections, after Candida albicans. This organism also exhibits intrinsically low susceptibility to azole antifungals and treatment often fails. The microdilution method is not very practical for use in routine susceptibility testing in the clinical laboratory, thus necessitating the use of other methods. In this study, we compared the in vitro activity of five antifungal agents in three different groups (echinocandin, polyene and azole) against 50 C. glabrata isolates by broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute CLSI M27-A3 and CLSI M44-A, respectively. All the isolates were susceptible to amphotericin B (100%) and 98% of the isolates were susceptible to caspofungin by the broth microdilution method. Within the azole group drugs, voriconazole was the most active followed by fluconazole and itraconazole in vitro. The highest rate of resistance was obtained against itraconazole with a high number of isolates defined as susceptible-dose dependent or resistant. Although the disk diffusion method is easy to use in clinical laboratories, it shows very poor agreement with the reference method for fluconazole and itraconazole against C. glabrata (8% and 14%, respectively). 相似文献

A standardized disk susceptibility test was evaluated by comparing results with minimal inhibitory concentrations obtained
with agar dilution methods. The agar overlay method was used to test 152 Gram-negative bacilli against eight different antimicrobial
agents. One to 3% of the isolates were resistant to an antimicrobic by the MIC method, but appeared to be susceptible by the
disk method. Most very major discrepancies involved disk tests withProteus sp., a microorganism notoriously difficult to test reproducibly.Serratia sp. vs. the polymyxins andKlebsiella sp. vs. nitrofurantoin accounted for most other major discrepancies. With other microorganism-drug combinations, the disk
test was a reasonably accurate technique for classifying bacteria into resistant or susceptible categories. Gentamicin disk
tests were unsatisfactory, but when an intermediate zone category of 13–16 mm was applied, the false susceptible test results
were reduced to 2.6%. Intermediate zone sizes were obtained with 6% of the disk tests; most of those isolates were resistant
or susceptible but not intermediate in susceptibility. About 11% of the strains had intermediate MICs (5–20% with different
drugs), but most of those strains were fully susceptible by the disk technique. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A01R4011 00007 相似文献

Concentrations of calcium and magnesium were determined for 39 lots of media, including broth and agar media used for susceptibility
tests and plain agar. In addition, the effect that media with and without physiological levels of these divalent cations would
have on the disk diffusion susceptibility of 21 strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosa to four antimicrobics was also ascertained. Mueller-Hinton agar showed a wide variation in calcium and magnesium content.
Mueller-Hinton broth contained lower concentrations of calcium and magnesium, and there was little lot-to-lot variation. Lots
of Mueller-Hinton agar with higher concentrations of calcium and magnesium yielded smaller zone diamaters than those with
lower concentrations. Even at equal cation concentration, zones of inhibition varied from lot to lot. Since the addition of
calcium and magnesium to Mueller-Hinton agar to obtain a predetermined level did not result in equivalent zone diameters,
performance testing of susceptibility media is recommended. 相似文献

Susceptibility to fluconazole and amphotericin B in 84 clinical isolates of Candida was determined by a macrodilution method (NCCLS). Amphotericin B was very active (CMI < 1.25 microg/ml) against C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis. Less than 5% of C. albicans and/or C. glabrata isolates presented low susceptibility to the drug (CMI 80 > 2.50 microg/ml). Fluconazole was less active against C. glabrata and C. krusei (CMI 80 > 100 microg/ml). The susceptibility profile for fluconazole indicated the importance to the treatment of identification to species level. 相似文献

A series of 10 strains of Candida albicans, from TIMM 3309 to TIMM 3318, were repeatedly isolated in one myelofibrosis-complicated patient with recurrent candidemia. The latter five isolates, from TIMM 3314 to TIMM 3318, became suddenly resistant to fluconazole during the 10 to 16 weeks after antimycotic therapy. We investigated the resistant mechanism of fluconazole using one susceptible isolate and two of the five resistant isolates in the series. The ergosterol synthesis by cell-free extracts from the two resistant isolates was less susceptible to fluconazole partly as a result of a decreased affinity of cytochrome P-450. Unexpectedly, these two resistant isolates showed higher levels of an intracellular accumulation of [H]fluconazole than the susceptible isolate and the control strain of C. albicans ATCC 10231. In the resistant isolate, TIMM 3318, most intracellular incorporated fluconazole was distributed in the 12,000 X g pellet (P-120) fraction by centrifugation unlike the two susceptible strains. An observation of the ultrastructure of TIMM 3318 showed the most notable alteration to be the characteristic appearance of numerous vesicular vacuoles (diameter, 150 to 400 nm); these vacuoles were not observed, however, in either of the susceptible strains. A direct observation of the subcellular fraction prepared from TIMM 3318 by the electron microscopy negative-staining method suggests that most of the vesicular vacuoles were recovered in the P-120 fraction. These results suggest that fluconazole sequestration caused by vesicular vacuoles of the resistant isolate might act as a novel mechanism of fluconazole resistance besides the decreased affinity of cytochrome P-450. 相似文献
