  2. A #DrugResistant #'Superbug' #Fungus Infected 7,000 Americans in #2025

    This super bug is spreading across half the US
    The fungus poses a greater risk for vulnerable populations in #nursinghomes and #hospitals
    #Candida auris, a type of invasive #yeast that can cause deadly infections in people with weakened immune systems, has infected at least 7,000 people across 27 US states, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  3. #Candida albicans is a leading opportunistic fungal #pathogen of humans. Ci Fu, Leah Cowen &co expand the GRACE #Calbicans #FunctionalGenomics resource, identifying genes important for temperature-dependent fitness & highlighting its power to reveal vulnerabilities @PLOSBiology plos.io/3Wft0Xg

  4. The pathogen #Candida tropicalis is increasingly resistant to azole #antifungals. Although C. tropicalis was thought to be diploid, this study shows that a widely used agricultural #fungicide generates haploid cells that are cross-resistant to antifungal drugs #AMR @PLOSBiology 🧪 plos.io/3RAckqM

  5. Increasing #AntimicrobialResistance is of great medical concern. This Primer highlights a @PLOSBiology study that unveils the link between #ploidy plasticity and the emergence of #antifungal resistance in #Candida tropicalis. Paper: plos.io/3RAckqM Primer: plos.io/4i4sgN4

  6. 🌎 New global #guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of #Candida infections. An international team led by Professor Dr. Oliver A. Cornely and Dr. Rosanne Sprute from the University Hospital Cologne has published the guideline which provides detailed recommendations for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various forms of candidiasis and aims to help healthcare professionals worldwide provide better care for patients.

  8. #Candida biofilm formation. @laxmirai @c_denfert &co identify novel modulators of #Calbicans #biofilm formation, revealing that the TFs ZCF15 & ZCF26 regulate metabolic reprogramming during the transition from planktonic to biofilm growth #PLOSBiology plos.io/3VVGYOs

  9. "#Candida auris kann sich im Gegensatz zu anderen Candida-Pilzarten auch über #Schmierinfektionen von Mensch zu Mensch verbreiten - also über eine Kette von Berührungen. Bei den restlichen Candida-Arten wurden nur in den seltensten Fällen Übertragungen zwischen Menschen beobachtet."

    Frightening map shows deadly fungal disease spreading across the United States with experts concerned

    Story by John O'Sullivan
    February 8, 2024

    "This frightening map shows the spread of the C. auris fungal infection across the United States, with the most recent data showing an exponential growth in the disease since the first case was reported in the country in 2016.

    "Recently, there was an outbreak of the drug-resistant #CandidaAuris fungus in Seattle, Washington. Health experts have warned that the infection spreads rapidly, especially in healthcare settings, and has a high fatality rate."

    Origin of #fungal #hybrids with pathogenic potential from warm seawater environments: Valentina del Olmo et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-023

    "#Candida orthopsilosis is a hybrid #microbe that originated from 2 other parental #fungi in a marine environment. And it is precisely this #hybridization that has conferred certain properties which make it a potential threat to global health."

  14. " #ClimateChange is believed to be a contributing factor to the sudden spread of #CandidaAuris.

    #Candida auris is a global public health threat that can cause severe illness, including bloodstream, wound, and respiratory infections. Its mortality rate is estimated at 30% to 60%; it is often resistant to common antifungal treatments."

    Yet another reason to stay clear of hospitals.
