FKS mutant Candida isolates were recovered from 24% (6/25) of abdominal candidiasis patients exposed to echinocandin. Candida glabrata (29%) and Candida albicans (14%) mutants were identified. Multidrug-resistant bacteria were recovered from 83% of FKS mutant infections. Mutations were associated with prolonged echinocandin exposure (P = 0.01), breakthrough infections (P = 0.03), and therapeutic failures despite source control interventions (100%). Abdominal candidiasis is a hidden reservoir for the emergence of echinocandin-resistant Candida.
从24%(6/25)接受棘白菌素治疗的腹部念珠菌病患者中分离出FKS突变型念珠菌菌株。鉴定出光滑念珠菌(29%)和白色念珠菌(14%)突变体。83%的FKS突变体感染中分离出多重耐药菌。突变与棘白菌素暴露时间延长(P = 0.01)、突破性感染(P = 0.03)以及尽管采取了源头控制干预措施仍出现治疗失败(100%)相关。腹部念珠菌病是棘白菌素耐药念珠菌出现的一个隐匿来源。
