TL;DR: Treatment duration for aspergillosis is strongly recommended based on clinical improvement, degree of immunosuppression and response on imaging, and in refractory disease, where a personalized approach considering reversal of predisposing factors, switching drug class and surgical intervention is also strongly recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal drug resistance: mechanisms, epidemiology, and consequences for treatment.
TL;DR: Standardized methods for reliable in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing are now available from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in the United States and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) in Europe.

TL;DR: An increase in the frequency of azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus has emerged and it is feared that this phenomenon may be linked to the spread of E.coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus and spread of a single resistance mechanism.
Eveline Snelders,Henrich A. L. van der Lee,Judith Kuijpers,Anthonius J. M. M. Rijs,János Varga,János Varga,Robert A. Samson,Emilia Mellado,A. Rogier T. Donders,Willem J. G. Melchers,Paul E. Verweij +10 more
TL;DR: The presence of a dominant resistance mechanism in clinical isolates suggests that isolates with this mechanism are spreading in the authors' environment, and might be more prevalent than currently acknowledged.

TL;DR: Invasive aspergillosis is an increasingly frequent opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients and only two agents, amphotericin B and itraconazole, are licensed for therapy, and at least two mechanisms of resistance are responsible.

TL;DR: The results of the study imply that it may be possible to develop a reference method for antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi.

Correlation between in-vitro susceptibility testing to itraconazole and in-vivo outcome of Aspergillus fumigatus infection.

TL;DR: With careful selection and standardization of test conditions it is possible to generate reproducible in-vitro susceptibility data for Aspergillus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-vitro testing of susceptibility to amphotericin B is a reliable predictor of clinical outcome in invasive aspergillosis.
TL;DR: The outcome of aspergillus infection depends on the in-vitro susceptibility of the isolates to amphotericin B, and survival was poor in patients with isolates resistant to amph esotericin B and good in those with amphoteric in B-susceptible specimens.
