Quantitation of ergosterol content and gene expression profile of ERG11 gene in fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans

摘要

Background and Purpose:The frequency of opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, especially by Candida species, has sharply increased in the last few decades. The objective of this study was to analyse the ergosterol content and gene expression profiling of clinical isolates of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans.
