Fluconazole Resistance Candida albicans in Females With Recurrent Vaginitis and Pir1 Overexpression
BACKGROUND Some genes may be associated with Candida albicans resistance to azoles. Pir1 gene is described as responsible to induce resistance in C. albicans. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to find the relationship between fluconazole resistance and Pir1 protein (Pir1p) overexpression in the females with recurrent C. albicans vaginitis requiring longer fluconazole therapy. PATIENTS AND ...
متن کاملfluconazole resistance candida albicans in females with recurrent vaginitis and pir1 overexpression
conclusions the findings show fluconazole -resistance in c. albicans isolates with overexpression of pir1p. results in the 52 isolates, 49 (94%) were resistant to fluconazole. overexpression of pir1 gene was detected in 47 (96%) fluconazole-resistant c. albicans isolates. patients and methods a total of 52l vaginal samples were obtained from the females with c. albicans vaginitis. the azole sus...
متن کاملOverexpression of MDR-1 and CDR-2 genes in fluconazole resistance of Candida albicans isolated from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic fungus that can colonize women’s mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, causing vulvovaginitis in specific circumstances. The major genes contributing to drug resistance in C. albicans are the candida drug resistance (CDR) and multi drug resistance (MDR) genes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CDR-2 and MDR...
متن کاملFluconazole resistance in Candida albicans: a review of mechanisms.
Antifungal agents have greatly contributed to the improvement of public health. Nevertheless, antifungal resistant pathogens have increased during the past decade, becoming a serious concern. Candida albicans has been the most extensively studied pathogen in antifungal resistance because of their morbidity and mortality associated with infections in immunocompromised patients. This review descr...
متن کاملMultiple efflux mechanisms are involved in Candida albicans fluconazole resistance.
Fluconazole-susceptible Candida albicans strains accumulated [3H]fluconazole at a rate of approximately 2 pmol/min per 10(9) cells. Fluconazole accumulation was not affected by the pretreatment of cells with sodium azide or with 2-deoxyglucose. The rate of fluconazole accumulation became saturated at high fluconazole concentrations and was not affected by the addition of ketoconazole, and there...
