"New Fungal Infection Emerges in China"

Scientists in China have discovered a new drug-resistant fungal pathogen, Rhodosporidiobolus fluvialis, in clinical samples from two patients. The fungus, which thrives at human body temperature, evolved to become more virulent and drug-resistant, raising concerns about the impact of global warming on the emergence of new fungal pathogens. However, experts caution against viewing it as a major threat due to limited evidence of widespread infection.
