Genome-Wide DNA Changes Acquired by <i>Candida albicans</i> Caspofungin-Adapted Mutants
Drugs from the echinocandin (ECN) class are now recommended ‘front-line’ treatments of infections caused by a prevailing fungal pathogen, <i>C. albicans</i>. However, the increased use of ECNs is associated with a rising resistance to ECNs. As the acquisition of ECN resistance in <i&g...
