Objective Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) has emerged as a promising tool for identifying rare fungal pathogens. This study evaluates the clinical utility of mNGS for the timely diagnosis of Talaromyces marneffei (TM) infection in patients with diverse immune statuses, particularly focusing on its diagnostic performance in culture ...

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

Air samples collected at three areas in each province of the Basque Country (Spain) were incubated at 25°C and 37°C for Sabouraud plates (SAB) and at 37°C for plates supplemented with voriconazol (SAB‐VCZ). The potentially resistant isolates from SAB‐VCZ plates were identified and their abundance and diversity were determined.

Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...

Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems
ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.

A successful transformation procedure for the genetic manipulation of the fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae was developed, enabling the forced expression of the transcriptional activator XlnR. A mutant version of XlnR carrying a Val785Phe substitution led to remarkably higher β‐xylosidase and endoxylanase activities compared to the wild‐type strain, which
