Climate Change Could Spread Deadly Aspergillus Fungus Worldwide

A new study using climate models warns that Aspergillus fungi, including A. fumigatus, could expand their geographic range as temperatures rise, increasing risk of invasive infections in people and mycotoxin-related crop losses. The spread is amplified by azole resistance driven by overlapping use of antifungicides in agriculture and medicine. Experts call for coordinated monitoring, better diagnostics, and stronger climate action to limit spread and mitigate health and agricultural impacts.

Superbug Candida auris Spreading Rapidly Across US, Experts Warn

A deadly, drug-resistant fungus called Candida auris is spreading globally, particularly in U.S. hospitals, posing a significant health threat due to its resistance to multiple antifungal drugs and ability to spread on surfaces and equipment. Researchers warn that current diagnostics and treatments lag behind the fungus's evolution, emphasizing the urgent need for new antifungal agents, improved detection, and increased awareness, especially in resource-poor countries. Despite challenges, recent studies suggest potential vulnerabilities in the fungus that could lead to new treatment strategies.

US Faces Rising Threat from Deadly Superbug and Drug Resistance

A drug-resistant fungus called Candida auris is rapidly spreading across U.S. hospitals and globally, posing a serious health threat due to its resistance to multiple antifungal drugs and ability to survive on surfaces and skin. Experts warn that current diagnostics and treatments are insufficient, emphasizing the need for new antifungal agents, better surveillance, and awareness to combat this emerging superbug.

Antifungal Resistance Challenges Thrush Treatment

Antifungal resistance in Candida, the fungi causing thrush, is rising, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of severe and recurrent cases. This resistance is driven by genetic mutations, biofilm formation, misuse of antifungal drugs, and environmental factors, highlighting the importance of proper medication use and microbiome health to prevent resistant strains.
