Distribution of Aspergillus species and prevalence of azole resistance in respiratory samples from Swiss Tertiary Care Hospitals
Keyword(s):
Abstract Among 400 Aspergillus spp. from respiratory samples in Switzerland, A. fumigatus was the most frequent species. Non-fumigatus Aspergillus spp. were more prevalent among solid-organ transplant recipients and after azole exposure. Azole-resistance was detected in four A. fumigatus isolates, three of them with the “environmental” mutation TR34/L98H in the cyp51A gene.
