Abstract
ERG11 sequencing of 28 Candida auris clade III isolates revealed the presence of concomitant V125A and F126L substitutions. Heterologous expression of Erg11-V125A/F126L in Saccharomyces cerevisiae led to reduced fluconazole and voriconazole susceptibilities. Generation of single substitution gene variants through site-directed mutagenesis uncovered that F126L primarily contributes to the elevated triazole MICs. A similar yet diminished pattern of reduced susceptibility was observed with the long-tailed triazoles posaconazole and itraconazole for the V125A/F126L, F126L, Y132F, and K143R alleles.Entities:
