Journal Article
Meyerozyma guilliermondii species complex: review of current epidemiology, antifungal resistance, and mechanisms
2022
Overview
Meyerozyma guilliermondii
has been accepted as a complex composed of
Meyerozyma guilliermondii
,
Meyerozyma carpophila
, and
Meyerozyma caribbica. M. guilliermondii
is a saprophyte detected on human mucosa and skin. It can lead to serious infections in patients with risk factors like chemotherapy, immunodeficiency, gastrointestinal or cardiovascular surgery, and oncology disorders. Most deaths related to
M. guilliermondii
infections occur in individuals with malignancy. In recent decades, incidence of
M. guilliermondii
infections is increased. Sensitivity of this microorganism to conventional antifungals (e.g., amphotericin B, fluconazole, micafungin and anidulafungin) was reduced. Prophylactic and empirical uses of these drugs are linked to elevated minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of
M. guilliermondii.
Drug resistance has concerned many researchers across the world. They are attempting to discover appropriate solution to combat this challenge. This study reviews the most important mechanisms of resistance to antifungals developed by in
M. guilliermondii
species complex.
