Fluconazole induces rapid high-frequency MTL homozygosis with microbiological polymorphism in Candida albicans

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2017
Background: Candida albicans, a common fungal pathogen that can cause opportunistic infections, is regarded as an apparently asexual, diploid fungus. A parasexual cycle was previously found between homozygotes with opposite mating type-like loci (MTLa/α)

An oxindole efflux inhibitor potentiates azoles and impairs virulence in the fungal pathogen Candida auris

Nature Communications, 2020
The fungal pathogen Candida auris is resistant to multiple drugs including the common antifungal fluconazole. Here, Iyer et al. identify a compound that potentiates fluconazole activity against C.

In vitro activities of antifungal agents alone and in combination against fluconazole-susceptible and -resistant strains of Candida dubliniensis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
In the present study we used two groups of Candida dubliniensis strains: one containing fluconazole-susceptible clinical isolates and another containing fluconazole-resistant laboratory derivative from the former to examine the changes on susceptibility ...

Lipase Gene Expression of Resistant and Sensitive Candida Albicans to Fluconazole Isolated from Patients Suffering from Oral Candidiasis and Vaginal Candidiasis

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2015
Background and Objective: With the development of drug resistance in strains of fungi, there is a considerable resistance of Candida albicans strains to fluconazole. Molecular studies are developing to determine the relationship of such a drug resistance
