Evaluation of a Novel FKS1 R1354H Mutation Associated with Caspofungin Resistance in Candida auris Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System
29 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Outbreaks of invasive infections, with high mortality rates, caused by multidrug-resistant Candida auris have been reported worldwide. Although hotspot mutations in FKS1 are an established cause of echinocandin resistance, the actual contribution of these mutations to echinocandin resistance remains unknown. Here, we sequenced the FKS1 gene of a caspofungin-resistant clinical isolate (clade I) and identified a...
