Antifungal susceptibility profile of clinical Fusarium spp. isolates identified by molecular methods

Six different species were identified. Fusarium solani was the most frequently isolated, followed by Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium verticilloides. Amphotericin B was the only drug with in vitro activity (range: 0.015-32 mg/L). The rest of the antifungals tested (itraconazole, voriconazole, ravuconazole, posaconazole and terbinafine) showed very poor activity against Fusarium, confirming the multiresistant nature of this genus.
