In October 2022, the WHO released its first-ever list of 19 fungal ‘priority pathogens’ that pose the greatest threat to public health—a list that included azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus.

Scientists have identified strains of one of the world’s most dangerous fungal pathogens, already resistant to our most ...

Unfortunately, this gives the pathogen time to develop resistance against azoles, which explains why azole resistance is advancing in fungal pathogens, meaning they are more likely to fail to kill ...

fumigatus isolates that have acquired resistance to medical azoles during patient therapy; TR34 is however found in azole-resistant plant-pathogenic isolates; A. fumigatus (TR34/L98H) isolates ...

The findings compare to resistance rates of 28% carried out by the team just two years ago using traditional culturing methods. Furthermore, the study – published in the prestigious US journal ...

As a result and due to new UK and EU legislation, farmers are under increased pressure to produce more food using fewer pesticides, while faced with new fungicides to slow resistance. While occurrence ...

Here, Bottery et al show that resistance to next generation antifungals is more likely to occur within azole resistant Aspergillus fumigatus due to the close linkage between a globally distributed ...
