Multiple Patterns of Resistance to Fluconazole in Candida glabrata Isolates from a Patient with Oropharyngeal Candidiasis Receiving Head and Neck Radiation

We have previously reported on the first three patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer to develop oropharyngeal candidiasis due to C. glabrata. The goal of this study was to track the development of increased fluconazole resistance in C. glabrata isolates and to evaluate previously described genetic...
