Opportunistic pathogenicity in fungi can transcend species boundaries

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

The ability to opportunistically infect humans has evolved multiple times across fungi and is a major burden to public health. Opportunistic pathogenicity requires the confluence of pre-existing traits in the fungus that facilitate host colonization (e.g., the ability to grow at 37C) and the existence of host immune filters that permit the survival of some colonizers (e.g., inborn errors of immunity). Numerous stu...
