Experts sound the alarm over #drugresistant #fungal infection detected in US
Story by Matthew Dooley, December 4, 2023
"Experts are sounding the alarm about a highly contagious #fungaldisease that's becoming resistant to common drugs. They warn this could make illnesses like #thrush much harder to treat.
"Medical professionals have warned that the world is not prepared for the growing threat of fungal infections.
"These can range from common conditions like #ringworm and thrush to life-threatening bloodstream infections caused by #CandidaAlbicans and #CandidaAuris.
"David Denning, a professor at the University of Manchester, previously spoke to The Mirror about a drug-resistant form of #ringworm. He explained how this fungus can easily spread in schools and homes.
"He said: 'Skin fungal infections are transmitted from one person to another in schools, homes and with intimate contact. This new #TerbinafineResistant fungus is a new species called #TrichophytonIndotineae and [was] first identified in India.
"Experts believe the rise in resistant fungi is due to overuse of over-the-counter #antifungal creams, misuse of #TopicalSteroid creams, incorrect prescription of antifungal drugs, as well as patients not sticking to prescribed courses of antifungal medication."

Visualizing #fungal infections deep in living host tissue reveals proline #metabolism facilitates virulence https://phys.org/news/2023-11-visualizing-fungal-infections-deep-host.html
Proline catabolism is a key factor facilitating #CandidaAlbicans pathogenicity https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1011677
"the opportunistic human fungal pathogen #Candida albicans requires the ability to metabolize #proline, an amino acid obtained from the host, to mount virulent infections."
