This article discusses the clinical significance of fungal resistance in oncohematological patients, with a focus on the epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of fungal infections. It also highlights the challenges in conducting representative studies and the current situation of antifungal susceptibility testing.

Epidemiology of aspergillosis and other mold infections is tough, because………….. • EORTC criteria: Probable aspergillosis (50-80% in last clinical trials) • Proven aspergillosis (50-75%) by microscopic examination only. No ID of species • Low performance of cultures • Laboratory contaminants
Results from Spain FILPOP_2012 • Population-based survey • Molds isolated from deep samples (including respiratory ones) • Two months (spring and fall) • 30 Spanish hospitals • Molecular ID and AST

New mechanisms of resistance in Aspergillus • The azole target cyp51A is a hotspot for mutations that confer phenotypic resistance, but in an increasing number of resistant isolates the underlying mechanism remains unknown. (TR46/Y121F/T289A) • Increase of expression and mutations related to efflux pumps • Mutation in the CCAAT-binding transcription factor complex subunit HapE. A P88L substitution in HapE.

Epidemiología de la EFI • La resistencia clínica en hongos filamentosos es relevante si la prevalencia de Mucorales, Scedosporium y Fusarium es elevada (tratamiento empírico y primera línea) • La resistencia a azoles en España en Aspergillus se mantiene por debajo del 10% • Parece estar más asociadas a especies crípticas aunque ya hay casos en A.fumigatus • Los casos con cepas resistentes son difíciles de tratar (90% mortalidad en paciente hematológico) • Problemas para hacer estudios representativos: • Cepas ambientales • Pruebas moleculares • Estudios con medios suplementados con itraconazol en muestras respiratorias (FILPOP 2)
84 patients were analyzed. 68/84 (81%) were cultured. 56% of sensitivity (38/68 cases) • PCR-based technique detected fungal DNA in 75/84 patients (89.3%)
