  • in vitro activities of eight antifungal drugs against 104 environmental and clinical isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans
    Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2014
    Co-Authors: Javad M Najafzadeh, Deanna A Sutton, Saradeghi M Keisari, Hossein Zarrinfar, Sybren G De Hoog, Anuradha Chowdhary, Jacques F Meis
    Abstract:

    Aureobasidium pullulans is an unusual agent of phaeohyphomycosis. The in vitro activities of antifungals against 104 isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans var. pullulans and A. pullulans var. melanigenum revealed low MIC90s of amphotericin B, posaconazole, and itraconazole. However, they were resistant to fluconazole (≥64 μg/ml) and had high MICs of voriconazole, isavuconazole, caspofungin, and micafungin.

  • Aureobasidium pullulans var melanigenum fungemia in a pediatric patient
    Medical Mycology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Kileen L Mershonshier, Deanna A Sutton, Sybren G De Hoog, Jaime G Deville, Shirley Delair, Annette W Fothergill, Brian L Wickes, Michael A Lewinski
    Abstract:

    This report describes a chronically ill child who presented with high fever and was diagnosed with catheter-related sepsis. Aureobasidium pullulans variety melanigenum, a dematiaceous fungus that rarely causes opportunistic infections, was recovered from multiple blood cultures. Antifungal susceptibilities were performed and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for fluconazole was 64 mg/l, suggestive of fluconazole resistance. The patient made a full recovery after removal of the catheter line and treatment with liposomal amphotericin B. This is the first case report of an elevated in vitro fluconazole MIC of an A. pullulans isolate and only the third case of successful treatment of A. pullulans fungemia.
