Objectives: A prospective international multicentre surveillance study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and amphotericin B susceptibility of Aspergillus terreus species complex infections.
Methods: A total of 370 cases from 21 countries were evaluated.
Results: The overall prevalence of A. terreus species complex among the investigated patients with mould-positive cultures was 5.2% (370/7116). Amphotericin B MICs ranged from 0.125 to 32 mg/L, (median 8 mg/L).
Conclusions: Aspergillus terreus species complex infections cause a wide spectrum of aspergillosis and the majority of cryptic species display high amphotericin B MICs.

Article Synopsis
- The ethyl acetate extract from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus found in Artemisia arborescens L. led to the discovery of five new compounds, asperterreunolides A-E, along with a known metabolite, butyrolactone IV.
- Using advanced spectroscopic techniques, the researchers determined the structures and the absolute configurations of these metabolites.
- All isolated compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against certain cancer cell lines, and molecular docking studies suggested their potential mechanism of action as inhibitors of type IIA topoisomerase.
