Correlation between ERG11 Gene Mutations and Fluconazole Resistance in Candida albicans Strains Isolated from Rasht in Years 2015-2016 [PDF]

Majallah-i dānishgāh-i ̒ulūm-i pizishkī-i Arāk, 2017
Background: Candida albicans as an opportunistic fungal pathogen in human causes candidiasis. The widespread use of azoles has led to the increase of azole resistance in Candida albicans isolates.

The combined action of ERG11 gene overexpression and its mutations in the development of Candida albicans resistance to triazolic antifungals

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии
Introduction. Modern medicine is faced with the resistance of Candida spp. to antimycotics, due to changes in the expression and structure of the ERG11 gene, the molecular target of triazoles.

Determining frequencies of fungicide resistance in Leptosphaeria maculans that render demethylation inhibitor fungicides ineffective in the field

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
As little as 1–10% of the population is needed to be resistant for demethylation inhibitor fungicides to be rendered ineffective. Following a single round of selection, the frequency increases by more than 15% with limited fitness penalty detected when no selection is present.

The epidemiology of the blackleg pathogen, Leptosphaeria maculans, impacts fungicide resistance management strategies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Understanding how infection timing drives disease is essential for the development of fungicide resistance management strategies. For blackleg disease of canola, all infection timings can contribute to the following generation, therefore all fungicide applications have the ability to select for resistance.
