The effects of SF2768 were canceled with copper addition, and other copper chelators, such as trientine and d-penicillamine, induced similar phenotypes, indicating that the copper-chelating activity of SF2768 is crucial for its antifungal properties. Furthermore, copper ions induced both hyphal and yeast bud formation.

Unfavorable treatment outcome (41%) was more frequent in the presence of acquired <i>Rv0678</i> mutations [odds ratio (OR) 132, 95% confidence interval (CI) 7.43, 2375], phenotypic BDQ resistance (OR 176, 95% CI 6.48, 2423), or MIC increase above or below the critical concentration (both OR 84.3, 95% CI 2.93, 2423) during treatment. For these highly treatment-experienced patients, low baseline prevalence but high incidence of acquired BDQ resistance was observed. Acquisition of mutations in BDQ candidate resistance genes, regardless of their frequency, or increased MICs during treatment, even below the critical concentration, should be seen as a warning sign of resistance amplification and increased risk of unfavorable treatment outcome.</p>","PeriodicalId":8152,"journal":{"name":"Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"e0183924"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12057352/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
