Abstract:Background: There are serious challenges of drug resistance in Candida albicans infection. Therefore, it is essential to identify new antifungal agents against resistant species to effectively treat patients affected by these species. Objectives: The present study aimed to study how zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and fluconazole affected the genes encoding resistance to fluconazole (i.e., CDR2 and ERG11) and those encoding adhesins (i.e., ALS1 and HWP1) in C. albicans isolates. Methods: In this descriptive… Show more
