    Lomentospora prolificans fungemia in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients: First report in South America and literature review
    (2018) PENTEADO, Fernando D.; LITVINOV, Nadia; SZTAJNBOK, Jaques; THOMAZ, Danilo Y.; SANTOS, Antonio M. dos; VASCONCELOS, Dewton M.; MOTTA, Adriana L.; ROSSI, Flavia; FERNANDES, Juliana F.; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena S.; BENARD, Gil; ALMEIDA JR., Joao N. de
    Lomentospora prolificans is a filamentous fungus and an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients. It is encountered most commonly in Australia, Spain, and USA. We described the first case of Lomentospora prolificans fungemia in South America. The patient was a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipient who developed the infection 37days after stem cells infusion. In addition, we performed a literature review of invasive lomentosporiosis in HSCT patients.

    Determinants of fluconazole resistance and echinocandin tolerance in C. parapsilosis isolates causing a large clonal candidemia outbreak among COVID-19 patients in a Brazilian ICU
    (2022) DANESHNIA, Farnaz; ALMEIDA JUNIOR, Joao N. de; ARASTEHFAR, Amir; LOMBARDI, Lisa; SHOR, Erika; MORENO, Lis; MENDES, Ana Verena; BARBERINO, Maria Goreth; YAMAMOTO, Danilo Thomaz; BUTLER, Geraldine; PERLIN, David S.; COLOMBO, Arnaldo Lopes
    Patients presenting with severe COVID-19 are predisposed to acquire secondary fungal infections such as COVID-19-associated candidemia (CAC), which are associated with poor clinical outcomes despite antifungal treatment. The extreme burden imposed on clinical facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a permissive environment for the emergence of clonal outbreaks of multiple Candida species, including C. auris and C. parapsilosis. Here we report the largest clonal CAC outbreak to date caused by fluconazole resistant (FLZR) and echinocandin tolerant (ECT) C. parapsilosis. Sixty C. parapsilosis strains were obtained from 57 patients at a tertiary care hospital in Brazil, 90% of them were FLZR and ECT. Although only 35.8% of FLZR isolates contained an ERG11 mutation, all of them contained the TAC1(L518F) mutation and significantly overexpressed CDR1. Introduction of TAC1(L518F) into a susceptible background increased the MIC of fluconazole and voriconazole 8-fold and resulted in significant basal overexpression of CDR1. Additionally, FLZR isolates exclusively harboured E1939G outside of Fks1 hotspot-2, which did not confer echinocandin resistance, but significantly increased ECT. Multilocus microsatellite typing showed that 51/60 (85%) of the FLZR isolates belonged to the same cluster, while the susceptible isolates each represented a distinct lineage. Finally, biofilm production in FLZR isolates was significantly lower than in susceptible counterparts Suggesting that it may not be an outbreak determinant. In summary, we show that TAC1(L518F) and FKS1(E1393G) confer FLZR and ECT, respectively, in CAC-associated C. parapsilosis. Our study underscores the importance of antifungal stewardship and effective infection control strategies to mitigate clonal C. parapsilosis outbreaks.

    Breakthrough Candidemia in Pediatric Patients With Cancer From a Brazilian Center
    (2021) BARRIENTOS, Anna Carlota Mott; ALMEIDA JUNIOR, Joao Nobrega de; LITVINOV, Nadia; BAIN, Vera; CRISTOFANI, Lilian Maria; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; PAULA, Camila Sanson Yoshino de; MOTTA, Adriana Lopes; ROSSI, Flavia; NEGRO, Gilda Maria Barbaro Del; THOMAZ, Danilo Yamamoto; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena Sousa
    We analyzed 19 cases of breakthrough candidemia from a referral pediatric cancer center in Brazil. All patients had neutropenia and were under antifungal prophylactic regimens, mostly micafungin (68%). Most of the patients were treated with amphotericin B formulations and 30-day mortality was 21%. Candida parapsilosis was the main etiologic agent (63%), and horizontal transmission was not evidenced by microsatellite analysis.
