Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most severe type of infection. Yunnan has developed agriculture, and the proportion of triazole-resistant induced by triazole fungicides is much higher than that in other regions of China. Inhalation of triazole-resistant is one of the main factors inducing IA. We gathered five strains of from the sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with IA in Yunnan. Subsequent testing showed that all of these strains were resistant to triazoles and harboured mutations in the tandem repeat sequence of the promoter region, suggesting that they may be triazole-resistant present in the environment.

Purpose: Candida vaginitis is widely prevalent worldwide and is one of the common gynecological disorders. The aim of this study is to analyze the sensitivity of recurrent vulvovaginal (RVVC) candidiasis to antifungal drugs and its relationship with vaginal microbiota.
Patients And Methods: We Isolated and cultured Candida from RVVC patients, mass spectrometry and broth microdilution method were used to identify and determine MIC values of antifungal drugs.

Contemporary antifungal therapies utilized to treat filamentous fungal infections are inhibited by intrinsic and emerging drug resistance. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop novel antifungal compounds that are effective against drug-resistant filamentous fungi. Here, we utilized an cell-based high-throughput screen to identify small molecules with antifungal activity that also potentiated triazole activity.

- Triazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus (TRAF) is increasingly recognized as a public health issue globally, but data on its prevalence in Africa, particularly West Africa, is scarce.
- The study involved collecting air samples from multiple hospital wards in Burkina Faso that house patients susceptible to invasive aspergillosis, revealing a TRAF prevalence of 3.23%.
- Notably, one isolate exhibited pan-triazole resistance linked to the TR34/L98H mutation, marking the first detection of such resistance in the country and highlighting the importance of continuous surveillance for TRAF.

is a ubiquitous saprotroph and human-pathogenic fungus that is life-threatening to the immunocompromised. Triazole-resistant was found in patients without prior treatment with azoles, leading researchers to conclude that resistance had developed in agricultural environments where azoles are used against plant pathogens. Previous studies have documented azole-resistant across agricultural environments, but few have looked at retail plant products.
