الوصف: Resistance to clinical triazoles in Aspergillus fumigatus is a growing concern for individuals at high risk of Aspergillus infection. Two triazole resistance selection routes are currently being investigated: one occurring in triazole-treated patients in healthcare settings, and the second taking place in the environment due to the widespread use of agricultural triazoles. This study aimed to assess the ability of agricultural azoles to promote cross-resistance to clinical azoles in A. fumigatus. Five A. fumigatus isolates susceptible to clinical azoles were exposed to the triazole 14α-demethylase inhibitor, tebuconazole (TBC), and then antifungal susceptibility tests for voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole and isavuconazole were performed. Under TBC selection pressure, all A. fumigatus isolates exhibited resistance to clinical triazoles. However, only two displayed a multiresistant phenotype to clinical azoles. TBC exposure was also associated with delayed conidia formation and progressive absence of conidiation. Noteworthy, no TBC-exposed clones harbored TR34/L98H mutation, as judged by real-time PCR assays. The observation that TBC exposure promotes cross-resistance to clinical triazoles warrants careful and thorough assessment of the human health risk associated with agricultural azoles. The absence of TR34/L98H mutation in cross-resistant A. fumigatus isolates suggests that other cyp51A mutations may be involved in clinical azole cross-resistance.
