Abstract
A recent surveillance study in South Korea revealed that 14% (7/50) of Aspergillus flavus clinical isolates had a voriconazole minimum inhibitory concentration of ≥4 μg/ml. Of seven non-wild-type (non-WT) isolates, six ear isolates from four hospitals shared the same microsatellite genotype. None of the non-WT isolates showed cyp51 mutations associated with azole resistance. However, the mean expression levels of efflux pump (MDR2, atrF, and mfs1) and target (cyp51A) genes exhibited significant differences between non-WT and other isolates.Entities:
