Mechanisms of fluconazole resistance in Candida albicans isolates from Japanese AIDS patients
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Four Candida albicans isolates, TIMM 3163, TIMM 3164, TIMM 3165 and TIMM 3166, with reduced fluconazole susceptibility were obtained from three AIDS patients in Japan, and the mechanisms of their drug resistance were studied. All isolates showed lower levels of intracellular accumulation of fluconazole than ATCC 10231, a susceptible control strain of C. albicans. Increased amounts of CDR1 and CDR2 mRNA encoding...
