Background: descrivere i pattern di suscettibilità ai farmaci antifungini degli isolati di Candida spp. identificati mediante reazione a catena delle polimerasi real-time da emocolture positive prelevate da pazienti ricoverati presso l'Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo di Alessandria nel periodo 2022-2023.

Materiali e Metodi: sono stati inclusi nello studio tutti i pazienti dei quali erano disponibili dati clinici, che sono stati sottoposti a prelievo per emocoltura risultata positiva soltanto per lieviti. Tutte le emocolture incluse sono state processate sia mediante reazione a catena delle polimerasi real-time che mediante esame colturale.

Risultati: nella nostra casistica di 67 emocolture positive soltanto per lieviti, tutti gli isolati sono risultati sensibili alle echinocandine e all'amfotericina B. Otto isolati su 19 (42%) di Candida parapsilosis e 2/14 (14.3%) di Candida glabrata sono risultati resistenti al fluconazolo.

Conclusioni: la rapida identificazione dell'isolato fungino mediante reazione a catena delle polimerasi real-time associata alla conoscenza dei pattern locali di suscettibilità ai farmaci può essere di aiuto nella scelta della migliore terapia antifungina, in attesa dell’antimicogramma.
