This study investigated the basis for intrinsic amphotericin B (AMB) resistance in Aspergillus terreus. The ergosterol content, cell wall composition, and lipid peroxidation level had no influence on AMB resistance. The level of catalase production in A. terreus was significantly higher than that in A. fumigatus (P < 0.05). This higher-level production may contribute to AMB resistance in A. terreus since oxidative damage has been implicated in AMB action.
本研究调查了土曲霉对两性霉素B(AMB)内在耐药性的基础。麦角固醇含量、细胞壁组成和脂质过氧化水平对AMB耐药性均无影响。土曲霉中过氧化氢酶的产生水平显著高于烟曲霉(P<0.05)。由于氧化损伤与AMB的作用有关,这种较高水平的产生可能导致土曲霉对AMB产生耐药性。
