Resumen
Reference methods for antifungal susceptibility tests recommend the use of conidia as inoculum. However, some isolates produce few conidia, while the invasive form of filamentous fungi in general is hyphae making susceptibility tests infeaseble. These facts suggest that other than conidia broth dilution method is required for susceptibility tests. The aim of this study was to clarify if the hyphal growth inhibition rate could be used as a method of determining the antifungal susceptibility of genus Microsporum. For this reason, a method which traces hyphal tips automatically and measures their growth rate was standardized for Microsporum spp. Control growth curves and test growth curves obtained by real-time observation of the hyphae groups responses to different concentrations of terbinafine, griseofulvin, and ciclopiroxolamine were used to compare with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) obtained by conidia broth microdilution method. A visible reduction in the growth inhibition rate was observed when hyphal activity was evaluated using the third or fourth serial two-fold dilution below the MIC determined by broth microdilution for terbinafine and ciclopiroxolamine. For griseofulvin, this reduction occurred after the fifth dilution below the MIC. This study highlights the importance of the inoculum type used to determine the in vitro susceptibility of Microsporum strains. We conclude that measurement of hyphal growth inhibition, despite being time consuming, could be a suitable method for evaluating antifungal susceptibility, particularly for fungi as Microsporum spp. that produce a small (or not at all) number of conidia. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 172 4 279 285 Krakhecke, A.G., Afonso, E., Ferreira, J.C., Candido, R.C., In vitro susceptibility testing of Mgypseum isolates from healthy cattle and soil samples against itraconazole, terbinafine, fluoconazole and topical veterinarian drugs (2005) Mycopathologia, 159, pp. 377-380 Perea, S., Fothergill, A.W., Sutton, D.A., Rinaldi, M.G., Comparison of in vitro activities of voriconazole and five established antifungal agents against different species of dermatophytes using a broth macrodilution method (2001) J Clin Microbiol, 39, pp. 385-388 Carrillo-Munoz, A.J., Giusiano, G., Cárdenes, D., Terbinafine susceptibility patterns for onychomycosis-causative dermatophytes and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (2008) Int J Antimicrob Agents, 31, pp. 540-543 Fernández-Torres, B., Carrillo, A.J., Martín, E., Del Palacio, A., Moore, M.K., Valverde, A., Serrano, M., Guarro, J., In vitro activities of 10 antifungal drugs against 508 dermatophyte strains (2001) Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 45, pp. 2524-2528 Fernández-Torres, B., Cabanes, F.J., Carrillo-Munoz, A.J., Esteban, A., Inza, I., Abarca, L., Guarro, J., Collaborative evaluation of optimal antifungal susceptibility testing conditions for dermatophytes (2002) J Clin Microbiol, 40, pp. 3999-4003 Alió, A.B., Mendonza, M., Zambrano, E.A., Díaz, E., Cavallera, E., Dermatophytes growth curve and in vitro susceptibility test: a broth micro-titration method (2005) Med Mycol, 43, pp. 319-325 Araujo, C.R., Miranda, K.C., Fernandes, O.F., Soares, A.J., Silva, M.R., vitro susceptibility testing of dermatophytes isolates in Goiania, Brazil, against five antifungal agents by broth microdilution method (2009) Rev Inst Med Trop S.
