Abstract
Las infecciones fúngicas invasivas han aumentado en las últimas décadas y las opciones terapéuticas para combatirlas son limitadas. Los agentes antifúngicos empleados son útiles y tienen óptima actividad in vitro, pero pierden eficacia debido al desarrollo de resistencias por parte de los hongos. El incremento de especies con resistencia primaria o secundaria a algunos fármacos antifúngicos ha generado la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas formulaciones o recurrir a alternativas como la combinación de fármacos. En este artículo se revisará el espectro de actividad de las principales familias de antifúngicos, polienos, azoles, equinocandinas, 5-fluorocitosina y nuevos fármacos antifúngicos, así como los mecanismos de resistencia descritos contra los mismos.
Invasive fungal infections have increased over the last decades and the therapeutic choices to treat them are limited. The antifungal agents currently available are useful and have optimal in vitro activity; however, their activity can be lowered due to the development of fungal resistance. The increase in primary or secondary resistance to some antifungal drugs has led to the search of alternatives such as the combination of drugs or the development of new antifungals. In this paper, the activity of the main families of antifungal drugs, polyenes, azoles, echinocandins, 5-fluorocytosine and other new antifungal drugs, are reviewed. The main resistance mechanisms developed by fungi are also described.
期刊介绍:
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
