Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin Biofilms Produce Antifungal-Tolerant Persister Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Persister cells are metabolically inactive dormant cells that lie within microbial biofilms. They are phenotypic variants highly tolerant to antimicrobials and, therefore, associated with recalcitrant infections.

Trichosporon asahii Infection in an Extremely Preterm Infant in China. [PDF]
Infect Drug Resist, 2022 Trichosporon asahii is an uncommon cause of fungal sepsis among neonates, but it is an important life-threatening opportunistic systemic pathogen. We report a case of T. asahii sepsis in a 980-g female baby born at 27 weeks of gestation. The extremely preterm initially presented with recurrent feeding intolerance and bloating; she subsequently ...
