Abstract excerpt
Lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase (14DM) is the target of the azole antifungals, and alteration of the 14DM sequence leading to a decreased affinity of the enzyme for azoles is one of several potential mechanisms for resistance to these drugs in Candida albicans. In order to identify such alterations the authors investigated a collection of 19 C. albicans clinical isolates demonstrating either frank resistance (MICs...
