Abstract
The prevalence of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is uncertain in Australia. Azole exposure may select for resistance. We investigated the frequency of azole resistance in a large number of clinical and environmental isolates. A. fumigatus isolates [148 human, 21 animal and 185 environmental strains from air (n = 6) and azole-exposed (n = 64) or azole-naive (n = 115) environments] were screened for azole resistance using the VIPcheck™ system. MICs were determined using the Sensititre™ YeastOne YO10 assay. Sequencing of the Aspergillus cyp51A gene and promoter region was performed for azole-resistant isolates, and cyp51A homology protein modelling undertaken. Non-WT MICs/MICs at the epidemiological cut-off value of one or more azoles were observed for 3/148 (2%) human isolates but not amongst animal, or environmental, isolates. All three isolates grew on at least one azole-supplemented well based on VIPcheck™ screening. For isolates 9 and 32, the itraconazole and posaconazole MICs were 1 mg/L (voriconazole MICs 0.12 mg/L); isolate 129 had itraconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole MICs of >16, 1 and 8 mg/L, respectively. Soil isolates from azole-exposed and azole-naive environments had similar geometric mean MICs of i...Continue Reading
