Invasive aspergillosis remains a life-threatening infection in immunocompromised patients. Although clinical failures are attributed to poor host immunity, antifungal drug resistance may be a contributing factor. Reports of voriconazole (VRC) resistance (VRC-R) in clinical isolates of Aspergillus spp. continue to emerge from various centers around the world, and mechanisms contributing to drug resistance are poorly understood. The aim of this study is to study the role of multidrug resistance efflux pumps (MDR-EPs) in VRC-R in Aspergillus flavus using efflux pump inhibitors and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Relative quantification of various MDR-EPs was performed pre-exposure and postexposure to VRC, which demonstrated an increase in 1 or more efflux pump gene transcripts to varying degrees in VRC-susceptible and VRC-R isolates of A. flavus. Exposure to sub-MIC of VRC causes up-regulation of genes encoding MDR-EPs, contributing to triazole resistance in A. flavus and may not be detected during routine antifungal susceptibility testing in vitro.
侵袭性曲霉病仍然是免疫功能低下患者的一种危及生命的感染。尽管临床失败归因于宿主免疫力差,但抗真菌药物耐药可能是一个促成因素。来自世界各地不同中心的报告继续出现曲伏前列素(VRC)耐药(VRC-R)的临床分离株 曲霉菌 spp.,并且对导致耐药性的机制了解甚少。本研究旨在使用外排泵抑制剂和定量逆转录聚合酶链反应研究多药耐药外排泵(MDR-EPs)在黄曲霉菌 VRC-R 中的作用。在 VRC 暴露前和暴露后对各种 MDR-EP 进行相对定量,结果显示在 VRC 敏感和 VRC-R 黄曲霉菌分离株中,1 种或多种外排泵基因转录物的表达程度不同程度增加。亚 MIC 浓度的 VRC 暴露导致编码 MDR-EP 的基因上调,导致黄曲霉菌对三唑类药物的耐药性,并且在体外常规抗真菌药敏试验中可能无法检测到。
