Roles of Three Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii Efflux Pump-Coding Genes in Response to Drug Treatment

Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii species complexes are the etiologic agents of cryptococcosis. We have deciphered the roles of three ABC transporters, Afr1, Afr2, and Mdr1, in the representative strains of the two species, C. neoformans H99 and C. gattii R265. Deletion of AFR1 in H99 and R265 drastically reduced the levels of resistance to three xenobiotics and three triazoles, suggesting...
