Article Synopsis
- Mangrove ecosystems are facing threats from climate change and urban pollution, leading to the emergence of potentially harmful yeasts, as studied in Hong Kong's mangroves.
- The researchers collected water and sediment samples, identifying 45 yeast isolates from 18 species, with a significant presence of pathogenic yeasts known for drug resistance.
- The study highlights the urgent need for surveillance and collaboration among various disciplines to manage the risks posed by these pathogens, emphasizing the broader public health implications of unchecked urban development in coastal areas.
