Abstract
We evaluated the combined performance of itraconazole and voriconazole Etest® gradient concentration strips for the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus azole resistance associated with cyp51a mutations confirmed by gene sequencing. Among 118 A. fumigatus clinical isolates collected in a French center, 6 (5%) had azole resistance mutations, 5 of which were probably of environmental origin. Using recent method-dependent epidemiological cutoff values as thresholds, the combination's sensitivity and specificity were 100% [95% confidence interval 61-100] and 99% [95-100]. Our results support itraconazole and voriconazole Etest® combined use as a promising self-sufficient method for simple, efficient and reliable cyp51a-related azole-resistant A. fumigatus detection.
