Aneuploidy enables cross-tolerance to unrelated antifungal drugs in Candida parapsilosis
11 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Candida parapsilosis is an emerging major human fungal pathogen. Echinocandins are first-line antifungal drugs for the treatment of invasive Candida infections. In clinical isolates, tolerance to echinocandins in Candida species is mostly due to point mutations of FKS genes, which encode the target protein of echinocandins. However, here, we found chromosome 5 trisomy was the major mechanism of adaptation to the...
