Mutations in transcription factors that confer fluconazole resistance also confer reduced susceptibility to manogepix in Candida auris (Candidozyma auris), Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida glabrata (Nakaseomyces glabratus).

Abstract excerpt

The fungal pathogen Candida auris is of global concern due to high levels of multidrug resistance and its propensity to cause infectious outbreaks. Over 90% of isolates are resistant to fluconazole, the most commonly prescribed antifungal worldwide. Fluconazole resistance is multifactorial with many isolates carrying mutations in the gene encoding the transcriptional regulator Tac1B, leading to increased...
