Abstract excerpt

Prolonged exposure of several Candida albicans strains to inhibitory concentrations of Cd, Cu, or Zn resulted in the appearance of resistant colonies at frequencies and with kinetics significantly different than expected based solely upon the predicted spontaneous mutation rate. Characteristics of the response included: (i) a delay usually of 4-10 days in the emergence of the first resistant colonies; (ii)...
