Abstract

Introduction: Therapeutic efforts aimed at treating mycosis caused by Candida spp. have focused on the use of azoles; however, their benefits have been subject to discussion in scientific literature, due to the extensive and well-described resistance mechanisms. Objective: To describe the resistance mechanisms to fluconazole expressed by the Candida glabrata species, so they are considered within the variables of eligibility for intervention. Method: An integrative review was carried out using the guiding question: what are the fluconazole resistance mechanisms expressed by the Candida glabrata species? Twenty-nine studies obtained from the PubMed database met the criteria for the critical analysis proposed by the PRISMA instrument, which was used for the selection of articles for review included in this paper. The analysis elements were organized in the following categories: overexpression of efflux pumps and modifications in the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. Results: The resistance mechanisms to fluconazole expressed by Candida glabrata are mainly determined by the upregulation of Adenosine triphosphate Binding Cassette (ABC) pumps and by the modification of the point of attachment with its pharmacological target: the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. Conclusion: The resistance mechanisms expressed by Candida glabrata are associated with the structural modification of the pharmacological target and the overexpression of efflux pumps, in a way different to other species. It is suggested that Candida glabrata is intrinsically less susceptible to fluconazole.
