Pluronic F-127 Enhances the Antifungal Activity of Fluconazole against Resistant Candida Strains

138 views | Feb 02 2024

The study investigates how Pluronic F-127 (PLX) formulations loaded with fluconazole (FLU) potentially increase susceptibility in drug-resistant Candida strains, revealing a significant inhibitory effect on yeast growth, particularly at concentrations of 5.0% and 10.0% w/v of PLX, while detecting upregulation of CDR1/CDR2 genes, indicative of drug efflux as the primary resistance mechanism.
