The clinical involvement and antifungal susceptibility of Aspergillus section Circumdati are poorly known. We analyzed 52 isolates, including 48 clinical isolates, belonging to 9 species inside the section Circumdati. ABSTRACT The clinical involvement and antifungal susceptibility of Aspergillus section Circumdati are poorly known. We analyzed 52 isolates, including 48 clinical isolates, belonging to 9 species inside the section Circumdati. The whole section exhibited, by the EUCAST reference method, a poor susceptibility to amphotericin B, but species/series-specific patterns were observed for azole drugs. This underlines the interest in getting an accurate identification inside the section Circumdati to guide the choice of antifungal treatment in clinical practice.
