Journal ArticleDOI

Nonfilamentous C. albicans mutants are avirulent.

TL;DR: This Candida cph1/cph1 efg1/efg1 double mutant, locked in the yeast form, is avirulent in a mouse model.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro activities of posaconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, and amphotericin B against a large collection of clinically important molds and yeasts.

TL;DR: Posaconazole exhibited potent antifungal activity against a wide variety of clinically important fungal pathogens and was frequently more active than other azoles and amphotericin B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-Dimensional Models of Wild-Type and Mutated Forms of Cytochrome P450 14α-Sterol Demethylases from Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans Provide Insights into Posaconazole Binding

TL;DR: In this paper, homology models of the CYP51 enzymes from Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were constructed based on the X-ray crystal structure of the enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in Aspergillus fumigatus Resulting in Reduced Susceptibility to Posaconazole Appear To Be Restricted to a Single Amino Acid in the Cytochrome P450 14α-Demethylase

TL;DR: The transformants exhibited reductions in susceptibility to POS comparable to those exhibited by the original mutants, confirming that point mutations in the cyp51A gene in A. fumigatus can confer reduced susceptibility to Posaconazole.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of Real-Time Quantitative PCR to Molecular Analysis of Candida albicans Strains Exhibiting Reduced Susceptibility to Azoles

TL;DR: Despite both the increases in pump expression and the ERG11 mutations, only one of the patient isolates exhibited a large decrease in posaconazole susceptibility.
