<i>In vitro</i> evolution of caspofungin resistance in <i>Candidozyma auris</i> via <i>FKS1</i> hotspot I mutations results in moderate fitness trade-offs but no reduction in virulence
2025-01-04
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to echinocandins in the recently emerged pathogen Candidozyma auris (previously known as Candida auris ) poses significant clinical challenges. This study reports the in vitro evolution of a caspofungin-sensitive C. auris clade II isolate to acquire caspofungin resistance. We sequenced the whole genome of the parental strain and its drug-resistant progeny. The resistant isolates harboured mutations...
