Abstract
Multiple increases in drug sensitivity were observed in Candida albicans cells that were accumulating 14-methylated sterols as a result of a mutation or clotrimazole treatment. The possibility was suggested that a change in membrane permeability caused by the alteration in sterol composition was responsible for the increased susceptibility.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
