Functional Genomic Screening Reveals Core Modulators of Echinocandin Stress Responses in Candida albicans
Summary: Candida albicans is a leading cause of death due to fungal infection. Treatment of systemic candidiasis often relies on echinocandins, which disrupt cell wall synthesis. Resistance is readily acquired via mutations in the drug target gene, FKS1. Both basal tolerance and resistance to echino...
