Emergence of multiple fluconazole-resistant <i>Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto</i> clones with persistence and transmission in China

Abstract

This study is the first Chinese report of persistence and transmissions of multiple fluconazole-resistant C. parapsilosis sensu stricto clones harbouring Erg11Y132F, and the first demonstration of the mutations Erg11G307A, Mrr1Q625K, Tac1L263S, Tac1D440Y and Tac1T492M as conferring resistance to azoles.
