Cyclic AMP signaling pathway modulates susceptibility of candida species and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to antifungal azoles and other sterol biosynthesis inhibitors.

abstract：:Serial passage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 or Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 on agar with subinhibitory concentrations of norfloxacin rapidly produced isolates with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of norfloxacin up to 512-fold higher than that for the original strain. Although MICs of seven unrelated an...
