Functional Genomic Analysis of Fluconazole Susceptibility in the Pathogenic Yeast <i>Candida glabrata</i> : Roles of Calcium Signaling and Mitochondria
22 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata exhibits innate resistance to fluconazole, the most commonly used antifungal agent. By screening a library of 9,216 random insertion mutants, we identified a set of 27 genes which upon mutation, confer altered fluconazole susceptibility in C. glabrata. Homologues of three of these genes have been implicated in azole and/or drug resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: two of...
