A 23 bp cyp51A Promoter Deletion Associated With Voriconazole Resistance in Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Neocosmospora keratoplastica

In the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus, resistance to azole antifungals is often linked to mutations in CYP51A, a gene that encodes the azole antifungal drug target lanosterol 14α-demethylase. The aim of this study was to investigate whether similar changes could be associated with azole resis...
