- W4289079912 abstract "Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a prevalent infection of the genitourinary tract affecting millions of women worldwide. In the present study, the importance of virulence factors, ERG11 gene mutations, ERG11 gene expression, and plasma membrane ergosterol content for fluconazole resistance in Candida species was investigated in 200 women suspected of vulvovaginitis. Isolated Candida species were identified using the ITS-restriction fragment length polymorphism (ITS-RFLP) technique. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed according to the CLSI document. ERG11 gene expression was analyzed using real-time PCR. ERG11 gene mutation analysis was performed using sequencing methods, and the ergosterol content of the cell membrane was determined in fluconazole-resistant isolates. Furthermore, the production of phospholipase and proteinase enzymes was evaluated in recurrent and non-recurrent infections. VVC was diagnosed in 101 (50.5%) of the 200 clinical cases, of which 21 (20.8%) were confirmed as RVVC. Candida albicans was the most prevalent species, followed by C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, and C. guilliermondii. Ketoconazole and fluconazole were the most effective drugs against C. albicans among five tested antifungals with MIC ranges between 0.06 and 16 μg/mL and 0.25-64 μg/mL. Substitutions of A114S, Y257H, T123I and A114V were detected in fluconazole-resistant C. albicans. The ergosterol content of the fungal cell membrane and the mean levels of ERG11 gene expression transcript were higher in fluconazole-resistant C. albicans isolates obtained from RVVC than in those obtained from VVC cases. Phospholipase and proteinase were produced in different amounts in all Candida species isolated from VVC and RVVC cases. In this review, our results demonstrated that several molecular mechanisms, including ERG11 gene expression, changes in the cell membrane ergosterol content, and mutations in ERG11 gene alone or simultaneously involved in fluconazole resistance of C. albicans species and the recurrence of VVC." @default.
