In vitro azole resistance in the presence/absence of exposure to azole prophylaxis

Azole prophylaxis exposure Drugs No. of isolates No. (%) of isolates resistantc
Absencea Fluconazole 72 2 (2.8)
Voriconazole 72 2 (2.8)
Posaconazole 72 0
Presenceb Fluconazole 17 8 (47.0)
Voriconazole 17 10 (58.8)
Posaconazole 17 6 (35.3)

aSpecies included C. albicans (34 isolates), C. parapsilosis (31), C. glabrata (3), and C. tropicalis (4)

bSpecies included C. albicans (3 isolates), C. parapsilosis (3), C. glabrata (6), and C. tropicalis (5)

cFluconazole resistance was defined as MIC ≥8 μg/mL for C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis, and MIC ≥64 μg/mL for C. glabrata. Voriconazole resistance was defined as MIC ≥1 μg/mL for C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis; an epidemiological MIC cut-off value ≥1 μg/mL was used to detect voriconazole resistance in C. glabrata. The resistance species-specific breakpoint for voriconazole was used for posaconazole
