Abstract excerpt
Azole antifungals inhibit the cytochrome P450-dependent lanosterol 14-α-demethylase (CYP51), an essential enzyme in the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway. While azole resistance mechanisms are well established in Aspergillus fumigatus, the molecular basis of resistance in Aspergillus flavus remains less defined. Previous studies identified nonsynonymous substitutions Y319H and H349R in CYP51C of azole-resistant A....
