Abstract

Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus found in normal skin flora is known to be associated with various skin diseases and systemic infections. There is yet no standardized in vitro susceptibility testing method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) breakpoints for Malassezia species. In this study, we investigated the in vitro activity of ketoconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine against 30 Malassezia strains (22 Malassezia furfur/dermatis, 8 M.japonica) isolated from cheek and/or scalp swabs and/or cephalic pustules of 21 neonates. The isolates were identified to species level on the basis of growth on Sabouraud dextrose agar, assimilation-of Tween compounds and catalase reaction. The antifungal susceptibility tests were performed by agar dilution method using modified Dixon agar (MDA) and the agar dilution plates were incubated at 32°C. For the isolates which exhibited sufficient growth, MICs were read at 48 hours, for the remaining slow-growing isolates, MIC readings were done on 7th day. For all drugs tested, the lowest concentration that provided complete inhibition of growth visually was interpreted as the MIC (|u,g/ml) value. Itraconazole was the most active drug in vitro against Malassezia species, followed by ketoconazole and terbinafine in rank order. In vitro activity of terbinafine was poor for half of the Malassezia strains tested. Variations in activity against individual Malassezia strains were detected for ketoconazole and terbinafine, while in vitro activity of itraconazole was similar for all strains tested. In order to validate the clinical significance of these results, further in vitro and in vivo correlation studies are needed.

Özet

Malassezia, normal deri florasında bulunabilen, çeşitli deri hastalıklarına ve sistemik enfeksiyonlara yol açabilen maya benzeri bir mantardır. Bugün için Malassezia türleri için uygulanacak in vitro duyarlılık testi yöntemi ve direnç sınır değerleri henüz kesinlik kazanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, 21 yenidoğanın yanak ve/veya skalp sürüntü ve/veya sefalik püstül örneklerinden izole edilen 30 Malassezia izolatının (22 Malassezia furfur/dermatis, 8 M.japonica) ketokonazol, itrakonazol ve terbinafine in vitro duyarlılığı araştırılmıştır. Tür düzeyinde tanımlama, Sabouraud dekstroz ağarda üreme, Tween asimilasyonu ve katalaz testi sonuçlarına göre yapılmıştır. Antifungal ilaçlara in vitro duyarlılık, modifiye Dixon ağar (MDA) kullanılarak ağar dilüsyon yöntemiyle araştırılmış, plaklar 32°C'de inkübe edilmiştir. Minimum inhibitor konsantrasyon (MİK, |ag/ml) değerleri, yeterli üreme elde edilen suşlarda 48 saat sonunda değerlendirilmiş, yeterli üreme elde edilemeyen suşlarda inkübasyon 7 güne kadar uzatılmıştır. Tüm ilaçlar için üremeyi tam inhibe eden en düşük konsantrasyon MİK değeri olarak belirlenmiştir. En iyi in vitro aktivite gösteren ilacın itrakonazol olduğu, bunu sırasıyla ketokonazol ve terbinafinin izlediği görülmüştür. Terbinafinin test edilen Malassezia suşlarının yaklaşık yarısına karşı in vitro aktivitesinin yeterli düzeyde olmadığı saptanmıştır. Ketokonazol ve terbinafinin in vitro aktivitelerinin susa göre değişebileceği, itrakonazolün in vitro aktivitesinin ise tüm suşlar için birbirine benzer olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu sonuçların klinik öneminin anlaşılabilmesi için çok sayıda susun test edildiği ve in vitro ile in vivo korelasyonu araştıran çalışmalara gereksinim vardır.
