Description
A drug-resistant yeast is spreading through hospitals, and a 2026 genomic study led by Junmin Cao tracks its patterns across China. The research article studies twenty-two ICU patients colonized or infected with Candidozyma auris, sequencing twenty-five isolates and testing their antifungal susceptibility.
Every isolate was immune to fluconazole, and most were immune to amphotericin B too, while the echinocandin drug class remained effective in testing. The gene reads split into two global clades with distinct resistance-gene variants, though single mutations did not predict drug response neatly. Matching 210 genomes traced arrivals from Canada, South Korea, and Pakistan, with Beijing and Guangdong as domestic spread hubs.
