Molecular mechanisms of azole resistance in fungi

Abstract excerpt

This paper reviews the current status of our understanding of azole antifungal resistance mechanisms at the molecular level and explores their implications. Extensive biochemical studies have highlighted a significant diversity in mechanisms conferring resistance to azoles, which include alterations in sterol biosynthesis, target site, uptake and efflux. In stark contrast, few examples document the molecular...
