Drosophila melanogaster as a model to study virulence and azole treatment of the emerging pathogen Candida auris
28 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Candida auris is an emerging, often MDR, yeast pathogen. Efficient animal models are needed to study its pathogenicity and treatment. Therefore, we developed a C. auris fruit fly infection model. METHODS: TollI-RXA/Tollr632 female flies were infected with 10 different C. auris strains from the CDC Antimicrobial Resistance bank panel. We used three clinical Candida albicans strains as controls. For...
