The isolation of a pan-echinocandin-resistant Candida parapsilosis strain (anidulafungin, caspofungin, micafungin and rezafungin EUCAST MICs > 8 mg/L) from urine of a patient following prolonged exposure to echinocandins (38 days of micafungin followed by 16 days of anidulafungin) is described. The isolate harbored the novel alteration F652S in the hotspot 1 region of fks1. Isogenic C. parapsilosis bloodstream isolates collected up to 1.5 months earlier from the same patient were susceptible to echinocandins (anidulafungin, caspofungin and micafungin EUCAST MICs 1−2, 1 and 1 mg/L, respectively) and contained wild-type FKS1 sequences. This is the first report of pan-echinocandin resistance in C. parapsilosis associated with an aminoacid change in hotspot 1 region of fks1.
本文描述了从一名长期接受棘白菌素治疗(先使用米卡芬净38天,后使用阿尼芬净16天)的患者尿液中分离出一株对所有棘白菌素耐药的近平滑念珠菌菌株(阿尼芬净、卡泊芬净、米卡芬净和瑞扎芬净的欧洲抗微生物药敏试验委员会(EUCAST)最低抑菌浓度(MIC)>8 mg/L)。该分离株在fks1热点1区域存在新型突变F652S。在更早之前(最早提前1.5个月)从同一患者收集的近平滑念珠菌血流分离株对棘白菌素敏感(阿尼芬净、卡泊芬净和米卡芬净的EUCAST MIC分别为1−2、1和1 mg/L),且含有野生型FKS1序列。这是首例与fks1热点1区域氨基酸变化相关的近平滑念珠菌对所有棘白菌素耐药的报道。
