Proteomic analysis of azole resistance in Candida albicans clinical isolates.
Changes in protein expression within a matched set of Candida albicans isolates representing the acquisition of azole resistance were examined by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting. Proteins differentially expressed in association with azole resistance included Grp2p, Ifd1p, Ifd4p, Ifd5p, and Erg10p, a protein involved in the ergosterol biosynthes...
متن کاملAzole Antifungal Resistance in Candida albicans and Emerging Non-albicans Candida Species
Within the limited antifungal armamentarium, the azole antifungals are the most frequent class used to treat Candida infections. Azole antifungals such as fluconazole are often preferred treatment for many Candida infections as they are inexpensive, exhibit limited toxicity, and are available for oral administration. There is, however, extensive documentation of intrinsic and developed resistan...
متن کاملSelected mechanisms of molecular resistance of Candida albicans to azole drugs.
A phenomenon of increasing resistance of Candida spp. to azoles has been observed for several years now. One of the mechanisms of lack of sensitivity to azoles is associated with CDR1, CDR2, MRD1 genes (their products are active transport pumps conditioning drug efflux from pathogen's cell), and ERG11 gene (encoding lanosterol 14α-demethylase). Test material was 120 strains of Candida albicans ...
متن کاملMicafungin activity against Candida albicans with diverse azole resistance phenotypes.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate whether mechanisms of azole resistance in Candida albicans contribute to reduced micafungin activity in vitro. METHODS MICs were determined for a collection of strains with well-characterized mechanisms of azole resistance obtained from systemic, oral and vaginal infections. This collection of strains includes those with resistance-assoc...
متن کاملAzole Drugs Are Imported By Facilitated Diffusion in Candida albicans and Other Pathogenic Fungi
Despite the wealth of knowledge regarding the mechanisms of action and the mechanisms of resistance to azole antifungals, very little is known about how the azoles are imported into pathogenic fungal cells. Here the in-vitro accumulation and import of Fluconazole (FLC) was examined in the pathogenic fungus, Candida albicans. In energized cells, FLC accumulation correlates inversely with express...
