Gene Duplication Associated with Increased Fluconazole Tolerance in Candida auris cells of Advanced Generational Age
25 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Candida auris is an emerging multi-drug resistant yeast that causes systemic infections. Here we show that C. auris undergoes replicative aging (RA) that results from asymmetric cell division and causes phenotypic differences between mother and daughter cells similar to other pathogenic yeasts. Importantly, older C. auris cells (10 generations) exhibited higher tolerance to fluconazole (FLC), micafungin, 5-...
