Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: MDR Candida strains are emerging. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), which enables extensive and deep genome analysis, was used to investigate echinocandin and azole resistance in clinical Candida isolates. METHODS: Six genes commonly involved in antifungal resistance (ERG11, ERG3, TAC1, CgPDR1, FKS1 and FKS2) were analysed using NGS in 40 Candida isolates (18 Candida albicans, 15 Candida glabrata and...
