A Nonsense Mutation in the <i>ERG6</i> Gene Leads to Reduced Susceptibility to Polyenes in a Clinical Isolate of <i>Candida glabrata</i>
12 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Unlike the molecular mechanisms that lead to azole drug resistance, the molecular mechanisms that lead to polyene resistance are poorly documented, especially in pathogenic yeasts. We investigated the molecular mechanisms responsible for the reduced susceptibility to polyenes of a clinical isolate of Candida glabrata. Sterol content was analyzed by gas-phase chromatography, and we determined the sequences and...
