Abstract excerpt
Azole resistance in Malassezia pachydermatis has been reported in isolates from canine skin worldwide. Decreased susceptibility of M. pachydermatis to azoles has been hypothesized to potentially result from mutations in the ERG11 gene, which encodes lanosterol 14α-demethylase. To sequence the mutation hotspots of ERG11 in the isolates, we prepared primers (MPERG11hot2S and MPERG11hot2R) based on the conserved...
