A disseminated Fusarium oxysporum infection with skin localization was diagnosed in a woman with a relapse of B-acute leukemia during induction chemotherapy. The infection was refractory to amphotericin B-lipid complex alone but responded successfully when voriconazole was added.

The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and subsequent soil-borne disease outbreaks are major threats to soil health and sustainable crop production. However, the relationship between occurrences of soil-borne diseases and the transmission of soil ARGs remains unclear. Here, soil ARGs, mobile genetic elements and microbial communities from co-located disease suppressive and conducive banana orchards were deciphered using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics approaches.
