ERG11 Gene Variability and Azole Susceptibility in Malassezia pachydermatis
AbstractMalassezia pachydermatis is part of the normal skin microbiota of various animal species but under certain circumstances becomes an opportunistic pathogen producing otitis and dermatitis. Commonly these Malassezia diseases are effectively treated using azoles. However, some cases of treatment failure have been reported. Alterations in the ERG11

Rationale. The low efficacy of azole antimycotics in treatment of Candida infections, especially in HIV-infected patients, is often associated with overexpression of the ERG11 gene in Candida spp., which results in increased production of ergosterol the

Mutations in ERG11 were detected by gene sequencing and amino acid alignment in 18 Candida tropicalis strains with different degrees of sensitivity to voriconazole (VRC). ERG11 expression, sterol content, and membrane permeability were also evaluated.

ERG11 couples oxidative stress adaptation, hyphal elongation and virulence in Candida albicans [PDF]
Candida albicans is a major fungal opportunistic pathogen for humans. In the treatment of C. albicans, azole drugs target the sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) encoded by ERG11 gene. Most studies have focused on the fact that the ERG11 mutant results in drug resistance, but its mechanism of action as a drug target has not been described yet.

Overexpression of Both ERG11 and ABC2 Genes Might Be Responsible for Itraconazole Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Candida krusei. [PDF]
To study the main molecular mechanisms responsible for itraconazole resistance in clinical isolates of Candida krusei.The 14α-demethylases encoded by ERG11 gene in the 16 C.krusei clinical isolates were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and ...

Expression pattern of Drug-Resistance Genes ERG11 and TAC1 in Candida albicans Clinical Isolates
Abstract Background:Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic fungus and the most common cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). In recent years, the use of antifungal drugs has led to the incidence of drug resistance. The purpose of this study is two fold: to determine the relationship between risk factors and antifungal resistance ...
