| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The amino acid substitution and the structure change caused the high resistance to antifungal resistance in pathogenic fungi, Trichosporon, which is the ubiquitous yeast around the world. This fungus have the mutant selection window (MSW) around the minimal concentration as the results of in vivo and in vitro studies and analysis.
Besides the use of antifungal agents, by formation of a biofilm, the yeast was also found to resistance of the anti-fungal agent. The antifungals is not effective to the biofilm formation cells of this yeast.
