Absence of Azole Antifungal Resistance in Isolated from Root Vegetables Harvested from UK Arable and Horticultural Soils.

The emergence of azole-resistant (AR) complicates the treatment of aspergillosis and can nearly double the mortality from invasive aspergillosis (IA). AR has been isolated from many different environmental sites and indoor environments and thus presents a significant risk for susceptible patients. Local surveillance of environmental AR can guide antifungal prescribing and improve patient outcomes.
