Prospective multicenter study on azole resistance in aspergillus isolates from surveillance cultures in haematological patients in italy

ConclusionsIn this study, theAspergillus azole resistance rate was 1% (3/292). In addition to A. fumigatus sensu stricto, A. lentulus and A. awamori azole resistant were identified. Therefore, it is important a correct identification at species level to better address a rapid therapy, to understand quickly the shift towards cryptic species and to have an updated knowledge of the local epidemiology.
