Gain-of-Function Mutations in <i>PDR1</i> , a Regulator of Antifungal Drug Resistance in Candida glabrata, Control Adherence to Host Cells
5 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Candida glabrata is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that is known to develop resistance to azole drugs due to increased drug efflux. The mechanism consists of CgPDR1-mediated upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporters. A range of gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in CgPDR1 have been found to lead not only to azole resistance but also to enhanced virulence. This implicates CgPDR1 in the regulation of the...
