Clavispora lusitaniae is an opportunistic human pathogen responsible for 0.6 to 2% of candidemia. This species is intrinsically susceptible to echinocandins. Nevertheless, in this study, development of echinocandin resistance in C. lusitaniae isolates was observed during caspofungin treatment. This resistance resulted from missense mutation in the echinocandin target Fks1 gene.
卢特西亚拟内孢霉是一种机会性人类病原体，占念珠菌血症的 0.6%至 2%。该物种对棘白菌素类药物固有敏感。然而，在这项研究中，在卡泊芬净治疗期间观察到卢特西亚拟内孢霉分离株对棘白菌素类药物的耐药性发展。这种耐药性是由于棘白菌素类药物靶标 Fks1 基因的错义突变引起的。
