Changes of virulence factors accompanying the phenomenon of induced fluconazole resistance in <i>Candida albicans</i>
5 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
We investigated a fluconazole-sensitive (MICflu = 5 micrograms ml-1) clinical isolate and a fluconazole-resistant (MICflu > 80 micrograms ml-1) laboratory mutant Candida albicans strain developed from the sensitive one. We studied putative virulence factors including germination, adherence ability to either buccal epithelial cells or acrylate surface, the secreted aspartic proteinase, and the extracellular...
