Introduction: Triazole-antifungal treatment, the recommended first-line therapy for aspergillosis, is threatened as triazole-resistance reports in Aspergillus fumigatus increase worldwide. Infection by resistant isolates not only occurs during prolonged triazole-treatments but also by inhalation of triazole-resistant spores from the environment. Modifications to the recommended initial triazole antifungal therapy have been proposed by an international expert consensus in centers with >10% environmental-resistance. However, triazole-resistance prevalence is not known in most countries as susceptibility testing is not routinely performed.Objective: To determine the prevalence of environmental triazole-resistant A. fumigatus in two Latin American countries, Mexico and Peru.Methodology: Environmental sampling. Triazole-resistance screening. Triazole-resistance confirmation.Results: A total o...

ObjetivosCaracterizar los niveles y mecanismos de resistencia a β-lactámicos, quinolonas y macrólidos en 62 aislamientos de Escherichia coli causantes de bacteriemia en niños peruanos.MétodosSe determinaron las concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas (CIM) de ciprofloxacino, ácido nalidíxico (NAL) y azitromicina en presencia y ausencia de Phe-Arg-β-naftilamida. También se estableció la susceptibilidad a otros 14 agentes antimicrobianos. Se identificaron las β-lactamasas de espectro extendido (ESBL) y se determinaron las mutaciones en gyrA y parC, así como la presencia de mecanismos transferibles de resistencia a quinolonas (TMQR) y macrólidos (TMMR).ResultadosCincuenta aislados (80,6%) eran multirresistentes. Se observaron altas proporciones de resistencia a la ampicilina (93,5%), al NAL (66,1%) y al trimetoprim/sulfametoxazol (66,1%). Ningún aislado mostró resistencia a los...

The PGSC-Peruvian team was funded by grants from the Peruvian Fund for Innovation in Science and Technology (FINCYT), the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG) and the Peruvian Council of Science and Technology (Concytec). Additional support was received from Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Universidad Nacional San Cristobal de Huamanga and the Peruvian Ministry of foreign affairs. The PGSC-Chilean initiative has been supported by National Commission of Scientific and Technologic Research (CONICYT) and the Foundation for the Innovation in Agriculture (FIA).
