Abstract:Objective To investigate the molecular identification and susceptibility to antifungal agents of clinical isolates of Aspergillus species. Methods Fifty-three clinical isolates of Aspergillus were identified to species level based on Internal Transcribed Spacer(ITS) and β-tubulin gene sequencing. The in vitro susceptibility to anidulafungin, caspofungin, micafungin, posaconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B was tested by CLSI M38-A2. Results Among 53 isolates, there were 21 strains of Aspergillus fumigatus, 16 of Aspergillus tubingensis, 5 of Aspergillus niger, 4 of Aspergillus flavus, 4 of Aspergillus terreus, 2 of A. welwitschiae and 1 of A. lentulus. The MIC90 of micafungin,anidulafungin, caspofungin, posaconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B were 0.031, 0.031, 0.25, 0.5, 0.5,1 and 2μg/mL.One Aspergillus fumigatus strain showed resistance to itraconazole and voriconazole. Aspergillus lentulus strain was resistant to Amphotericin B. Other strains were sensitive to 7 antifungal angents.The susceptibility of 4 species complexes to different antifungal drugs was statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Conclusion Echinocandins drugs have best antifungal activity against 5 Aspergillus species, followed by asoles and amphotericin B. Different species of Aspergillus show different patterns of antifungal susceptibility.
