BACKGROUND: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is an important cause of morbidity among
women due to Candida species. In the last decades, resistance to azoles,
first-line antifungals has increased. One molecular mechanism of azole
resistance by Candida involves mutations in the ERG11 gene encoding lanosterol
14-α-demethylase, the target enzyme.(...)
