We report a case of Candida glabrata invasive candidiasis that developed reduced susceptibility to caspofungin during prolonged therapy. Pre- and posttreatment isolates were confirmed to be isogenic, and sequencing of hot spots known to confer echinocandin resistance revealed an F659V substitution within the FKS2 region of the glucan synthase complex.
我们报告了1例光滑念珠菌侵袭性念珠菌病病例,该病例在长期治疗期间对卡泊芬净的敏感性降低。治疗前和治疗后的分离株经确认是同基因的,对已知赋予棘白菌素耐药性的热点区域进行测序,结果显示葡聚糖合酶复合体的FKS2区域内有一个F659V替换。
