Novel FKS1 and FKS2 modifications in a high-level echinocandin resistant clinical isolate of Candida glabrata

Novel FKS1 and FKS2 modifications in a high-level echinocandin resistant clinical isolate of Candida glabrata

ABSTRACTEchinocandin resistance in Candida glabrata poses a serious clinical challenge. The underlying resistance mechanism of a pan-echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata isolate (strain L74) was investigated in this study. FKS mutants carrying specific mutations found in L74 were reconstructed by the...
