Abstract excerpt
Candida glabrata is the second most common cause of invasive candidiasis and is widely known to have reduced susceptibility to fluconazole relative to many other Candida spp. Upc2A is a transcription factor that regulates ergosterol biosynthesis gene expression under conditions of sterol stress such as azole drug treatment or hypoxia. Through an in vitro microevolution experiment, we found that loss-of-function...
