Whole genome sequencing analysis of Candida glabrata isolates collected from patients with selected drug-resistant candidiasis hospitalized in Eastern Poland.

Abstract excerpt

The epidemiology data for candidiasis indicate an increase in Candida glabrata infections. Moreover, several reports have shown an increasing number of drug-resistant cases of these infections. The source of drug resistance can often be traced to genetic mutations in genes related to a drug's mechanism of action. Therefore, we conducted whole genome sequencing of several drug-resistant isolates of Candida...
