In this study, we present a rare case of fatal breakthrough Candida tropicalis infection in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) while on posaconazole prophylaxis. Then, we explore the mechanisms underlying azole resistance by focusing on enhanced efflux pumps and changes in the azole target enzyme Erg11p, which was encoded by the ERG11 gene. Our study demonstrates that Y132C subst...
