Identification of Drug Resistant Candida auris [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Candida auris is a multidrug resistant yeast, recognized as a cause of invasive infections and health care associated outbreaks around the world. C. auris is of great public health concern, due to its propensity for drug resistance, mode and pace of its transmission, and the possibility that biologic and epidemiologic factors could exacerbate worldwide

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]

, 2019
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

Candida auris: Diagnostic challenges and outbreak control in paediatric and neonatal intensive care unit in a tertiary care hospital - the first of many in Eastern India

Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health
Problem considered: An emerging global threat, Candida auris infections have poor prognosis, high transmission rate, and potential for outbreaks. In India, prevalence of Candida auris invasive infection has been calculated to be 5.3 %.

CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...
