Description
Vincenzo Di Pilato and eleven co-authors chart a drug-resistant fungus across Italy in a 2026 paper. The fungus, Candidozyma auris, sparks hospital outbreaks worldwide. Italy saw a large outbreak in early 2020. Sporadic cases and small clusters followed in later years.
The team sequenced 68 Italian isolates and compared global ones. All Italian strains belonged to the South Asian clade. They scattered across several sub-lineages of that clade. One lineage spread across four Italian regions. Other cases traced to imports from southern or eastern Europe. Resistance gene signatures differed by lineage in the data. Stronger screening for transfers is their bottom line.
