A common drug‐responsive element mediates the upregulation of the Candida albicans ABC transporters CDR1 and CDR2 , two genes involved in antifungal drug resistance
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Upregulation of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes CDR1 and CDR2 (Candida drug resistance 1 and 2) is a common mechanism observed in Candida albicans clinical isolates developing resistance to the class of azole antifungals. In this work, the regulatory elements of both genes were delimited using a reporter system in an azole-susceptible strain exposed to oestradiol, which allows transient induction...
