The immunosuppressants tacrolimus (FK506) and cyclosporine A inhibit calcineurin and have potent antifungal activity. In this study, 24% of Cryptococcus neoformans isolates from solid-organ transplant patients exhibited altered sensitivity to these drugs, which may have an impact on the infectious course but does not appear to be the consequence of immunosuppressive therapy.
免疫抑制剂他克莫司(FK506)和环孢素A可抑制钙调神经磷酸酶,并具有强大的抗真菌活性。在本研究中,实体器官移植患者分离出的新型隐球菌菌株中有24%对这些药物的敏感性发生了改变,这可能会对感染病程产生影响,但似乎并非免疫抑制治疗的结果。
