Relative Contributions of the <i>Candida albicans</i> ABC Transporters Cdr1p and Cdr2p to Clinical Azole Resistance
18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans frequently develops resistance to treatment with azole drugs due to the acquisition of gain-of-function mutations in the transcription factor Tac1p. Tac1p hyperactivation in azole-resistant isolates results in the constitutive overexpression of several genes, including CDR1 and CDR2, which encode two homologous transporters of the ATP-binding cassette family. Functional studies of Cdr1p and Cdr2p...
