Clinical Relevance and Characteristics of Aspergillus calidoustus and Other Aspergillus Species of Section Usti. [PDF]
The Aspergilli of section Usti (group ustus) are represented by over 20 species, of which Aspergillus calidoustus is the most relevant human pathogen. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by these fungi is rare but could represent an emerging issue among ...

ABSTRACT Background Posaconazole (POS) prophylaxis is recommended for the prevention of invasive mould infections among patients with haematologic cancer and prolonged neutropenia or following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation. Albeit rare, breakthrough invasive mould infections (bIMI) are associated with high mortality rates.

Investigating a novel antifungal drug that inhibits fatty acid desaturation [PDF]
Invasive fungal infections represent a group of diseases that are of increasing worldwide concern. This group of diseases is associated with high mortality rates that can be attributed to widespread clinical drug resistance.

ABSTRACT Background Until 2020, azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus complex isolates in New Zealand was due to cyp51A hot spot mutations. This report details the appearance of environment‐linked tandem repeat (TR)‐related azole resistance genotypes since 2021. Methods Isolates were tested by broth micro‐dilution.

Investigation of a Lomentospora prolificans case cluster with whole genome sequencing [PDF]
Lomentospora prolificans has caused outbreaks in immunocompromised patients. We performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) on 4 L. prolificans isolates from infections occurring during an 8-month period in the haematology unit at Hospital 1., and 2 isolates

Tetflupyrolimet shows selectivity for plant dihydroorotate dehydrogenase over Aspergillus orthologs
Shared enzymatic targets between azoles used in agriculture as fungicides and clinical antifungals are hypothesized to have led to the drift of resistant fungal isolates from field to clinic, reducing efficacy of azoles in infectious disease treatment ...

Antifungal Resistance in Non‐fumigatus Aspergillus Species
ABSTRACT This review provides an in‐depth exploration of antifungal resistance in non‐fumigatus Aspergillus species, mainly focusing on acquired resistance. The available data have been compiled and sometimes re‐analysed. It highlights the increasing prevalence of resistance in non‐fumigatus species belonging to Flavi, Terrei, Nigri, and Nidulantes ...

The importance of antimicrobial resistance in medical mycology. [PDF]
Prior to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, antibiotic resistance was listed as the major global health care priority. Some analyses, including the O'Neill report, have predicted that deaths due to drug-resistant bacterial infections may eclipse the total number ...
