Sterol and fatty acid composition of Candida lusitaniae clinical isolates

Abstract:
The sterol and fatty acid compositions of four amphotericin B-resistant and of two amphotericin B-susceptible Candida lusitaniae clinical isolates were determined. A flow cytofluorometric susceptibility test (FCST) with a membrane potential-sensitive cationic dye was used as a complement to the conventional method for selecting the isolates. Compared to susceptible isolates, resistant ones showed a greatly reduced ergosterol content and changes in sterol composition, consistent with a defect in Delta8-->7 isomerase. Within each group, no correlation between the sterol or fatty acid pattern or composition and both the degree of in vitro susceptibility and FCST MIC was found.
