Systemic fungal infections pose a serious clinical problem. Treatment options are limited, and antifungal drug resistance is increasing. In addition, a substantial proportion of patients do not respond to therapy despite being infected with fungi that are susceptible to the drug. The discordance between overall treatment outcome and low levels of clinical resistance may be attributable to antifungal drug tolerance. In this Review, we define and distinguish resistance and tolerance and discuss the current understanding of the molecular, genetic and physiological mechanisms that contribute to those phenomena. Distinguishing tolerance from resistance might provide important insights into the reasons for treatment failure in some settings.

真菌的耐药性和耐受性。

全身性真菌感染引起严重的临床问题。治疗选择有限,并且抗真菌药物的耐药性正在增加。此外,尽管有相当一部分患者感染了对药物敏感的真菌,但仍对治疗无反应。总体治疗结果与临床抵抗力低水平之间的差异可能归因于抗真菌药物耐受性。在本综述中,我们定义和区分了耐药性和耐受性,并讨论了目前对导致这些现象的分子,遗传和生理机制的理解。区分抵抗力和抵抗力可能会为某些环境下治疗失败的原因提供重要的见识。
