Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Aspergillus lentulus and Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in a patient with probable invasive aspergillosis

Abstract: Characteristic morphological and phylogenetic analyses demonstrated the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus lentulus as the aetiological agents in a case of probable invasive aspergillosis (IA). This is believed to be the first report of an A. lentulus strain isolated from a patient with probable IA in Argentina.

“…However, it has been increasingly reported in severely immunocompromised patients such as hematological and cystic fibrosis patients, those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other populations receiving high doses of corticosteroids. [7][8][9][10] Invasive aspergillosis caused by A. lentulus is associated with high mortality and clinical isolates of this species show high MICs to azoles, echinocandins and amphotericin B. [6][7][8][9]11 Resistance to voriconazol (VRC) is especially worrisome considering that this antifungal is the primary drug used to treat invasive aspergillosis.…”

“…12 This difference in the developmental fungal growth in vivo might explain why A. lentulus is frequently isolated in mixed infections with A. fumigatus or other Aspergillus spp. 7,9 The simultaneous co-infection by multiple fungal species could represent a possible threat as A. lentulus is often misidentified and shows resistance to most antifungals in clinical use. In addition, population dynamics on a fungal mixed infection and species interaction in the host and in the environment remains entirely unexplored.…”

“…Isolations of A. lentulus defined in 2005 as a kind of new Aspergillus species were reported in America, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Spain (9,12). The characteristics of some cases with colonisation or infection caused by A. lentulus in the literature are shown in Table 1 (3,8,9,13,14). However, an isolation of or infection caused by A. lentulus was not reported in Turkey until today.…”

En el transcurso del tiempo, nuevas especies con capacidades oportunistas o saprotrofas se descubrieron en la sección, varias de ellas mediante nuevos aislamientos o reidentificaciones de colecciones de cultivos mediante métodos moleculares (Peterson, 1992(Peterson, -2008Hubka, 2011), Entre ellas podemos mencionar: Aspergillus fischerianus (=Neosartorya fischeri), Aspergillus thermomutatus (=Neosartorya pseudofischeri), A. lentulus, descrito como patógeno relacionado con A. fumigatus, A novofumigatus, A udagawae (= N. udagawae) y el complejo A .viridinutans (Samson et al, (2006) Balajee et al 2005aBalajee et al -b -2007Montenegro et al, 2009;Vinh, et al, 2009;Peláez et al, 2013), Aspergillus felis (Barrs et al, 2013;Novakova et al 2013), Aspergillus aureolus y A. wyomingensis Notas micológicas XI:Tritirachium oryzae, Paecilomyces formosus y alcances en la Sección Fumigati de Aspergillus -E.
