Induced Expression of and Genes Associated with Penconazole and Fludioxonil Resistance in the Potato Pathogen .

Preventing antifungal resistance development and identifying pathogens with high, medium, and low risk of resistance development to a particular fungicide or fungicide class is crucial in the fight against phytopathogens. We characterized the sensitivity of potato wilt-associated isolates to fludioxonil and penconazole and assessed the effect of these fungicides on the expression of fungal sterol-14-α-demethylase ( and histidine kinase () genes. Penconazole stunted the growth of strains at all concentrations used.

Diversity in the swimming motility and flagellar regulon structure of uropathogenic Morganella morganii strains.

In current times, the opportunistic pathogen Morganella morganii is increasingly becoming a cause of urinary tract infections. The condition has been further complicated by the multiple drug resistance of most isolates. Swimming motility plays an important role in the development of urinary tract infections, allowing bacteria to colonize the upper urinary tract.
