| Résumé | Five Candida krusei isolates (susceptible and resistant) recovered from the urine of a kidney transplant patient treated with voriconazole (VRC) 200 mg twice daily for 20 days were studied. Eight unrelated clinical isolates of C. krusei were exposed in vitro to VRC 0.001 mu g/ml for 30 days. Development of VRC transient resistance occurred in vivo, and induction of permanent resistance occurred in vitro. Mostly, ABC1 and ERG11 genes were overexpressed, and a homozygous T418C mutation in the ERG11 gene was found. |
