Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Candida auris in skilled nursing facilities

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2023
Candida auris is a fungal organism resistant to several classes of antifungals. Since its identification in 2009, it has gained worldwide attention in healthcare for its virulence and resistance to commonly used antifungal therapeutics. Although its origin and mechanisms of transmission are not fully elucidated, it is widely recognized as a high ...
