Antarctic marine microplastics reveals environmental persistence and rapid evolution of Candida auris

Norman van Rhijn, Emma Gan, Pilvi Hepo-oja, Xinyi Wang, Jia Li, Seána Duggan, David Firer, Laila Essa Omar AlSharqi, Hugh Gifford, Jacob Lucas Steenwyk, Amelie P. Brackin, Alireza Abdolrasouli, Andrew M. Borman, Christina A. Cuomo, Matthew C. Fisher, , Johanna Rhodes

The paper isolates Candida auris from Antarctica, identifies cold-adapted traits, and links mutator phenotypes to rapid evolution and drug resistance in global C. auris clades.

G-quadruplexes represent promising new targets to overcome multidrug-resistant fungal infections

Georgie Middleton, Fuad O Mahamud, Isabelle S. R. Storer, Abigail Williams-Gunn, Finn Wostear, Alireza Abdolrasouli, Elaine Barclay, Alice Bradford, Oliver R. Steward, Silke Schelenz, James T. McColl, Bertrand Lézé, Norman van Rhijn, Alessandra da Silva Dantas, Takanori Furukawa, , Stefan M. Bidula

This study demonstrates that G-quadruplexes are a promising antifungal target, as ligands like PhenDC3 inhibit fungal pathogens and show synergistic effects with existing antifungals.

Genomic epidemiology of emerging terbinafine-resistant Trichophyton indotineae

Johanna L. Rhodes, Sui Ting Hui, Sarah Dellière, Richard C. Summerbell, James A. Scott, Amtoj Kaur, Richard Barton, Rodrigo Leitao, Samuel Hemmings, Rebeca Goiriz, Jonathan Lambourne, Rhys A. Farrer, Silke Schelenz, Roderick J. Hay, Andrew M. Borman, , Matthew C. Fisher

The paper identifies terbinafine-resistant Trichophyton indotineae isolates globally, finds high genetic similarity and resistance linked to SQLE mutations, and suggests alternative resistance mechanisms.
