PURPOSE: This study investigates how surfactants affect the in-vitro anti-infective efficacy of micafungin, caspofungin, anidulafungin, and amphotericin B in treating pulmonary mycoses.
METHODS: MIC values for antifungal agents were determined against Candida krusei (now Pichia kudriavzevii) ATCC 6258, Candida albicans ATCC 90028, and 18 clinical isolates using the broth microdilution method in RPMI medium, following EUCAST recommendations. MIC assays included testing with and without Curosurf® surfactant at 1 mg/mL for C. krusei ATCC 6258 and all C. krusei isolates. Subsequent Time-kill studies in Sabouraud broth involved testing both C. albicans ATCC 90028 and C. krusei ATCC 6258 strains at concentrations equal their respective MIC values, with and without surfactant, using all four antifungals. CFU/mL were assessed at multiple time points up to 24 h. TKCs with different surfactant concentrations for C. krusei ATCC 6258 and mini-TKCs at various concentrations relative to the MIC of C. krusei isolates and the reference strain were conducted with micafungin, anidulafungin, and caspofungin.
RESULTS: MIC results showed that 1 µg/mL surfactant reduced killing of micafungin and anidulafungin against C. krusei, while caspofungin was unaffected. Amphotericin B's MIC decreased by half. TKCs demonstrated significant effects of surfactant on micafungin and anidulafungin against C. krusei, with complete abolition of anidulafungin's activity against C. albicans.
CONCLUSION: This in-vitro study highlights the concentration-dependent inhibitory effect of surfactant on antifungal activity against C. krusei and, to some extent, C. albicans, necessitating further clinical validation for invasive lung mycoses treatment.
