The expression of genes involved in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway in <i>Candida albicans</i> and <i>Candida dubliniensis</i> biofilms exposed to fluconazole
8 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the ERG1, ERG3, ERG7, ERG9, ERG11 and ERG25 genes in response to incubation with fluconazole and biofilm formation was investigated using reverse-transcription PCR and real-time PCR in Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis clinical isolates. The viability of biofilm was measured using an 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) reduction assay and...
