Abstract:
Being an important clinical fungal pathogen,Aspergillus (A.)fumigatus can cause fatal invasive fungal infections.Azoles are the first line drugs in treating various Aspergillus-caused diseases.Worldwidely,reports related to azole resistance in A.fumigatus have been increasing which posing a threat on the effectiveness of clinically used azole and agricultural fungicides.Currently,it has become an important public health issue.In this review,we summarize findings from literature regarding the following areas:the occurrence of azole resistance in A.fumigatus,the molecular mechanisms of resistance,contributing factors for the emergence of azole resistance,evolution of resistant strains and related control and prevention measures.
