Variation in fluconazole efficacy for Candida albicans strains sequentially isolated from oral cavities of patients with AIDS in an experimental murine candidiasis model.

Abstract excerpt

Four strains of Candida albicans, isolated from two patients with AIDS who had undergone prolonged fluconazole therapy for oral candidiasis, were studied in a model of disseminated murine candidiasis. Pre- and posttreatment isolates from each patient were genetically related, and the fluconazole MICs for the strains had increased significantly, from 0.25 to 32 micrograms/ml for the strains isolated from patient 1...
