Trichosporon spp. are yeasts capable of causing invasive disease, which mainly affect immunocompromised patients. A clinical strain of T. asahii was isolated from the blood cultures of patients admitted to the General Hospital of Fortaleza. Susceptibility tests were conducted by disk diffusion and broth microdilution. The isolated strain of T. asahii was resistant to fluconazole. The patient used amphotericin B and caspofungin in order to facilitate the microbiological cure. It was the first isolation and identification of T. asahii in blood culture in Ceará, Brazil.
毛孢子菌属是能够引起侵袭性疾病的酵母菌，主要影响免疫功能低下的患者。一株阿萨希毛孢子菌临床菌株从福塔莱萨综合医院收治患者的血培养物中分离得到。采用纸片扩散法和肉汤微量稀释法进行药敏试验。分离出的阿萨希毛孢子菌菌株对氟康唑耐药。该患者使用两性霉素B和卡泊芬净以促进微生物学治愈。这是巴西塞阿拉州首次从血培养中分离和鉴定出阿萨希毛孢子菌。
