Reduced azole susceptibility in genotype 3 Candida dubliniensis isolates associated with increased CdCDR1 and CdCDR2 expression.
Candida dubliniensis is a recently identified yeast species primarily associated with oral carriage and infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The species can be divided into at least four genotypes on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of the rRNA operon. Previous studies have shown that a small number of clinical is...
متن کاملAzole susceptibility and resistance in Candida dubliniensis.
Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species of pathogenic yeast that shares many phenotypic features with Candida albicans. It is primarily associated with oral colonization and infection in HIV-infected individuals. Isolates of C. dubliniensis are generally susceptible to commonly used azole antifungal agents; however, resistance has been observed in clinical isolates and can be induc...
متن کاملUsing PCR to Compare the Expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1 in Candida Albicans Isolates Resistant and Susceptible to Fluconazole
Abstract Background and objectives: More Candida albicans strains are reported resistant to fluconazole in patients with AIDS, cancer and organ recipients. Fluconazole resistance can be attributed to changes in pathways of sterol biosynthesis, mutation in or overexpression of ERG11 and the expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1. This study aimed to compare the ex...
متن کاملOverexpression of Candida albicans CDR1, CDR2, or MDR1 does not produce significant changes in echinocandin susceptibility.
The micafungin and caspofungin susceptibilities of Candida albicans laboratory and clinical isolates and of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains stably hyperexpressing fungal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) or major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters involved in azole resistance were determined using three separate methods. Yeast strains hyperexpressing individual alleles of ABC transporters or ...
متن کاملConstitutive activation of the PDR16 promoter in a Candida albicans azole-resistant clinical isolate overexpressing CDR1 and CDR2.
Candida albicans azole-resistant clinical isolates overexpressing the CDR1 and CDR2 genes (multidrug transporters) also overexpress the PDR16 gene (phosphatidylinositol transfer protein). We show here that the PDR16 promoter displays higher transcriptional activity following integration in an azole-resistant isolate than in the matched azole-susceptible one. Thus, the upregulation of PDR16 in t...
