Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Infections caused by azole-resistant Candida tropicalis strains are increasing in clinical settings. The reason for this epidemical change and the mechanisms of C. tropicalis azole resistance are not fully understood. METHODS: In this study, we performed biological and genomic analyses of 239 C. tropicalis strains, including 115 environmental and 124 human commensal isolates. RESULTS: Most (99.2%) of...
