The role of gene copy number variation in antimicrobial resistance in human fungal pathogens

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Faced with the burden of increasing resistance to antifungals in many fungal pathogens and the constant emergence of new drug-resistant strains, it is essential to assess the importance of various resistance mechanisms.

Aneuploidy underlies brefeldin A-induced antifungal drug resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Cryptococcus neoformans is at the top of the list of “most wanted” human pathogens. Only three classes of antifungal drugs are available for the treatment of cryptococcosis.

Candida parapsilosis candidemia in children admitted to a tertiary hospital in Turkey: clinical features and antifungal susceptibility

Microbiology Spectrum
In recent years, the incidence and drug resistance of Candida parapsilosis have increased. Our study aimed to determine the antifungal sensitivity of C. parapsilosis and the clinical and demographic characteristics of children with candidemia.

Antifungal Resistance in Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractAspergilli may cause various pulmonary diseases in humans, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), and acute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). In addition, chronic colonization may occur in cystic fibrosis (CF).

Antifungal Resistance in Cryptococcal Infections

Pathogens
Antifungal therapy, especially with the azoles, could promote the incidence of less susceptible isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii species complexes (SC), mostly in developing countries. Given that these species affect mostly the immunocompromised host, the infections are severe and difficult to treat.
