*DST, diploid sequence type; ID, identification; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; ND, not determined; R, resistant; S, susceptible. †Locations of amino acid mutations in Erg11 and Upc2 proteins are indicated by numbers. Letter combinations indicate amino acid changes in both alleles of each isolate. Copy numbers of ERG11 gene are indicated in parentheses, when >1 copy per allele was present. ‡Numbers are fold change in mRNA levels for each gene compared with the control strain (YFA120877). §ID numbers are from the pubMLST database (https://pubmlst.org). ¶Clades were labeled with N followed by DST number if the isolates were not classified into a specific clade.
