Unveiling antifungal resistance and biocide tolerance in clinical isolates of Candida spp

Future Microbiology
Candidiasis, caused by Candida spp. is an opportunistic infection with significant healthcare risks, worsened by trends in antifungal resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility profile, investigate resistance mechanisms, assess efflux pump activity, and examine biocide tolerance in clinical Candida isolates.A total of 100 ...

Calcineurin‐Dependent Stress Adaptation Enables Caspofungin Heteroresistance Leading to Stable Resistance in Candida Glabrata

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Caspofungin heteroresistance is prevalent in clinical Candida glabrata isolates and depends on calcineurin‐mediated stress adaptation. This transient phenotype serves as a reservoir for resistance evolution, enabling the emergence of stable resistant descendants under prolonged drug pressure.

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Conserved Role for Biofilm Matrix Polysaccharides in Candida auris Drug Resistance

mSphere, 2019
Candida auris has emerged as an outbreak pathogen associated with high mortality. Biofilm formation and linked drug resistance are common among Candida species. Drug sequestration by the biofilm matrix accounts for much of the antifungal tolerance.

Pesticide MRLs as Trade Barriers: Evidence From Vietnam's Coffee and Rice Exporters

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As tariffs have declined globally through bilateral and regional trade agreements, food safety standards have emerged as significant determinants of agricultural trade flows. This study examines the impact of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for five pesticides—Azoxystrobin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprole, Clothianidin, and Cyhalothrin—on ...

Enhanced Tolerance to Antifungals as a General Feature of Rho⁻ Mutants in Yeast Species: Implications to Positive Selection of Respiratory Deficiency

Microorganisms
Although the mitochondrial genome is an attribute of all eukaryotes, some yeast species (called petite-positive) can replicate without mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

Antifungal persistence: Clinical relevance and mechanisms.

PLoS Pathogens
Antifungal persistence is the phenomenon that occurs when a subpopulation of fungal cells can survive in the presence of high concentrations of antifungal drugs, which is different from the concepts of antifungal resistance and tolerance.

Combined Antifungal Resistance and Biofilm Tolerance: the Global Threat of Candida auris

mSphere, 2019
The enigmatic yeast Candida auris has emerged over the last decade and rapidly penetrated our consciousness. The global threat from this multidrug-resistant yeast has generated a call to arms from within the medical mycology community.
