Abstract

Fungal infections are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Resistance to the limited number of agents in the antifungal armamentarium among pathogenic fungi represents a growing public health threat. Particularly concerning is the emerging fungal pathogen Candida auris that frequently exhibits resistance to the triazole class of antifungals and amphotericin B, and for which isolates resistant to all of the major antifungal classes have been reported. In this brief review, we provide an overview of what is currently known about the molecular and genetic basis for antifungal resistance in this fungal pathogen.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
