Pierrehumbert A, Ischer F, Coste A
Front Microbiol . 2017 Jun; 8:873. PMID: 28559890
The commensal fungus is the major cause of fungal systemic infection in immuno-compromised patients, with a mortality rate approaching 50% in the case of bloodstream infections. There is therefore a...

Delarze E, Ischer F, Sanglard D, Coste A
Virulence . 2015 Aug; 6(7):684-93. PMID: 26305489
For the past 10 years, mini-host models and in particular the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella have tended to become a surrogate for murine models of fungal infection mainly due...

Amorim-Vaz S, Delarze E, Ischer F, Sanglard D, Coste A
Front Microbiol . 2015 May; 6:367. PMID: 25999923
The aim of the present study was to identify Candida albicans transcription factors (TFs) involved in virulence. Although mice are considered the gold-standard model to study fungal virulence, mini-host infection...

Eddouzi J, Parker J, Vale-Silva L, Coste A, Ischer F, Kelly S, et al.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2013 May; 57(7):3182-93. PMID: 23629718
Antifungal resistance of Candida species is a clinical problem in the management of diseases caused by these pathogens. In this study we identified from a collection of 423 clinical samples...

Vale-Silva L, Ischer F, LeibundGut-Landmann S, Sanglard D
Infect Immun . 2013 Mar; 81(5):1709-20. PMID: 23460523
Candida glabrata is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that is known to develop resistance to azole drugs due to increased drug efflux. The mechanism consists of CgPDR1-mediated upregulation of ATP-binding cassette...

Vandeputte P, Pradervand S, Ischer F, Coste A, Ferrari S, Harshman K, et al.
Eukaryot Cell . 2012 May; 11(7):916-31. PMID: 22581526
The identification of novel transcription factors associated with antifungal response may allow the discovery of fungus-specific targets for new therapeutic strategies. A collection of 241 Candida albicans transcriptional regulator mutants...

Vandeputte P, Ischer F, Sanglard D, Coste A
PLoS One . 2011 Nov; 6(10):e26962. PMID: 22073120
The incidence of fungal infections in immuno-compromised patients increased considerably over the last 30 years. New treatments are therefore needed against pathogenic fungi. With Candida albicans as a model, study...

MacCallum D, Coste A, Ischer F, Jacobsen M, Odds F, Sanglard D
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2010 Jan; 54(4):1476-83. PMID: 20086148
Principal mechanisms of resistance to azole antifungals include the upregulation of multidrug transporters and the modification of the target enzyme, a cytochrome P450 (Erg11) involved in the 14alpha-demethylation of ergosterol....

Ferrari S, Ischer F, Calabrese D, Posteraro B, Sanguinetti M, Fadda G, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2009 Jan; 5(1):e1000268. PMID: 19148266
CgPdr1p is a Candida glabrata Zn(2)-Cys(6) transcription factor involved in the regulation of the ABC-transporter genes CgCDR1, CgCDR2, and CgSNQ2, which are mediators of azole resistance. Single-point mutations in CgPDR1...

Coste A, Ramsdale M, Ischer F, Sanglard D
Microbiology (Reading) . 2008 May; 154(Pt 5):1491-1501. PMID: 18451058
One of the mediators of pleiotropic drug resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the ABC-transporter gene PDR5. This gene is regulated by at least two transcription factors with Zn(2)-Cys(6) finger DNA-binding...
