Effect of sub-inhibitory concentration of chlorhexidine on lipid and sterol composition of Candida albicans.

abstract：:The rise of Candida spp. resistant to classic triazole antifungal agents has led to a search for new therapeutic options. Here, we evaluated combinations of antifungals in a checkerboard assay against two groups of Candida glabrata strains: one containing fluconazole-susceptible clinical isolates (FS) and another cont...
