Article Synopsis
- Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus (ARAf) is rising globally, with a notable lack of monitoring programs in Belgium, prompting a first study on its prevalence in the environment.
- The study collected 232 samples from composting sites and crops and found six pan-azole-resistant A. fumigatus isolates, including two specific mutations (TR34/L98H and TR46/Y121F/T289A).
- The research calls for standardized environmental surveillance across Europe to better identify and manage hotspots of azole resistance.
