Triazole resistance in the pathogenic mold Aspergillus fumigatus has increased worldwide, posing a growing therapeutic challenge. Recently, mutations in the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase gene () have been associated with triazole resistance. Here, we describe a novel E306K triazole resistance-conferring mutation in the HMG-CoA reductase gene from an Israeli patient with chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA).
曲霉菌种中的致病真菌烟曲霉对三唑类药物的耐药性在全球范围内不断增加,这对治疗构成了日益严峻的挑战。最近,3-羟-3-甲基戊二酰基辅酶 A(HMG-CoA)还原酶基因()中的突变与三唑类药物耐药性有关。在这里,我们描述了一位患有慢性空洞性肺曲霉病(CCPA)的以色列患者的 HMG-CoA 还原酶基因中的一种新型 E306K 三唑类耐药突变。
