An oxindole efflux inhibitor potentiates azoles and impairs virulence in the fungal pathogen Candida auris
The fungal pathogen Candida auris is resistant to multiple drugs including the common antifungal fluconazole. Here, Iyer et al. identify a compound that potentiates fluconazole activity against C. auris in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting a major efflux pump and thus increasing intracellular fluconaz...
