Genomic diversity of the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus in Japan reveals the complex genomic basis of azole resistance

Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus fumigatus is a pathogenic fungus with a global distribution. The emergence of azole-resistant A. fumigatus (ARAf) other than the TR-mutants is a problem in Japan. Additionally, the genetic diversity of A. fumigatus strains in Japan remains relatively unknown. Here we show the diversity in the A. fumigatus strains isolated in Japan as well as the complexity in the global distribution of the pathogenic...
