Abstract excerpt
A strain of the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida lusitaniae was genetically modified for use as a cellular model for assessing by allele replacement the impact of lanosterol C14α-demethylase ERG11 mutations on azole resistance. Candida lusitaniae was chosen because it is susceptible to azole antifungals, it belongs to the CTG clade of yeast, which includes most of the Candida species pathogenic for humans,...
