Molecular Characterization and Sterol Profiles Identify Nonsynonymous Mutations in ERG2 as a Major Mechanism Conferring Reduced Susceptibility to Amphotericin B in Candida kefyr

ABSTRACT The molecular basis of reduced susceptibility to amphotericin B (rs-AMB) among any yeasts is poorly defined. Genetic alterations in genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis and total cell sterols were investigated among clinical Candida kefyr isolates. C. kefyr isolates (n = 81) obtained f...
