Azole Heteroresistance in Cryptococcus neoformans: Emergence of Resistant Clones with Chromosomal Disomy in the Mouse Brain during Fluconazole Treatment
9 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that Cryptococcus neoformans strains are innately heteroresistant to fluconazole in vitro, producing minor, highly resistant subpopulations due to adaptive formation of disomic chromosomes. Using a mouse model, we assessed the emergence of heteroresistant clones in the brain during fluconazole treatment and found that the occurrence of heteroresistant clones in vivo with chromosomal...
