Novel ABC Transporter Associated with Fluconazole Resistance in Aging of .

causes meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals, which is treated with fluconazole (FLC) monotherapy when resources are limited. This can lead to azole resistance, which can be mediated by overexpression of ABC transporters, a class of efflux pumps. ABC pump-mediated efflux of FLC is also augmented in 10-generation old cells.
