Abstract excerpt
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a prevalent infection of the genitourinary tract affecting millions of women worldwide. In the present study, the importance of virulence factors, ERG11 gene mutations, ERG11 gene expression, and plasma membrane ergosterol content for fluconazole resistance in Candida species was investigated in 200 women suspected of vulvovaginitis. Isolated Candida species were identified using...
