Abstract excerpt
Drug-resistant microbes typically carry mutations in genes involved in critical cellular functions and may therefore be less fit under drug-free conditions than susceptible strains. Candida glabrata is a prevalent opportunistic yeast pathogen with a high rate of fluconazole resistance (FLZR), echinocandin resistance (ECR), and multidrug resistance (MDR) relative to other Candida. However, the fitness of C....
