Systemic antifungal treatment is indicated but recurrences are frequent. The aim of this study was to characterize the oral load, fluconazole susceptibility profile and genotypic variability of oral C. albicans isolates from patients with DRS before (T0), immediately after fluconazole treatment (Tat) and after 6-months follow-up (T6m). Eighteen patients presenting DRS and treated with fluconazole were followed at the Faculty of Dentistry of Oporto University. Seventy C. albicans isolates were obtained and identified using standard cultural and biochemical multi-testing. Fluconazole susceptibility was tested by E-test®. Microsatellite-primed PCR was performed to assess the genotypic variability of C. albicans isolates. The patients’ mean age was 58.0±3.2 years, and 55.6%/44.4% had total/partial dentures. Before treatment, 22.2%, 44.4% and 33.3% of the patients presented DRS type I, II or III, respectively. Fluconazole treatment healed or improved DRS in 77.8% of the patients, accompanied by an 83.5% reduction in oral C. albicans load. However, after 6-months, oral C. albicans load increased significantly and DRS severity was similar to the one observed before treatment. Moreover, the prevalence of patients presenting fluconazole resistant isolates of C. albicans increased significantly throughout the study: T0-5.6%, Tat-10.0% and T6m-42.9%. A change in the genotypic variability of C. albicans isolates was also verified, being mostly associated to fluconazole susceptibility profile change. In conclusion, fluconazole presents a good short-term DRS treatment efficiency, but may be associated to a long-term emergence of C. albicans fluconazole resistance. 1 30 2015 46 51 TODENTJ-9-46 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-11-8 2014-12-15 2014-12-18 2015-1-30 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601509010046 1553505625 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/9/PAGE/46/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-46/TODENTJ-9-46.xml J Oral Rehabil.
