Emergence of fluconazole-resistant candida infections in diabetic foot ulcers: Implications for public health

open access: yesIndian Journal of Community Medicine, 2019
Background: It is well documented in the literature that fungal infections are common in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This has led to an overuse of antifungal agents, namely fluconazole, with a consequent risk of emergence of resistance to this drug ...

In vitro sensitivity of Malassezia furfur isolates from HIV-positive and negative patients to antifungal agents

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2023
Introduction. Malassezia is a lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeast genus belonging to the skin microbiota of humans and other animals. However, due to dysbiosis processes or other factors in the host, this yeast can cause different pathologies, ranging ...

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Genetic and genomic architecture of the evolution of resistance to antifungal drug combinations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
The evolution of drug resistance in fungal pathogens compromises the efficacy of the limited number of antifungal drugs. Drug combinations have emerged as a powerful strategy to enhance antifungal efficacy and abrogate drug resistance, but the impact on ...

Drug resistance and tolerance in fungi

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2020
Systemic fungal infections pose a serious clinical problem. Treatment options are limited, and antifungal drug resistance is increasing. In addition, a substantial proportion of patients do not respond to therapy despite being infected with fungi that ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Nanoemulsion as an Effective Treatment against Human-Pathogenic Fungi

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
Infections triggered by pathogenic fungi cause a serious threat to the public health care system. In particular, an increase of antifungal drug-resistant fungi has resulted in difficulty in treatment.

The proteasome regulator Rpn4 controls antifungal drug tolerance by coupling protein homeostasis with metabolic responses to drug stress.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Fungal pathogens overcome antifungal drug therapy by classic resistance mechanisms, such as increased efflux or changes to the drug target. However, even when a fungal strain is susceptible, trailing or persistent microbial growth in the presence of an ...
