متن کاملInvestigation of Mutations of ERG11 Gene in Fluconazole Resistant Strains of Candida Albicans Isolated From Patients With Volvovaginitis in West of Mazandaran
Background and Aims: Candida albicans as an opportunistic fungal pathogen in human is the cause of volvovaginitis candidiasis. Azole resistance is cinsiderable as worldwide problem in treatment of candidiasis. Azole resistance can occur through different mechanisms such as mutation in ERG11 gene. The aim of our study was evaluation of ERG11 gene mutations in fluconazole resistant islotes of C. ...
