Professor Jianping Xu's work with PhD student Yue Wang shows that pathogenic fungus Candida auris has an even broader diversity of drug resistance mechanisms than previously thought, and it can evolve to resist medications.
The discovery of the dangerous pathogen Candida auris raises concerns that pets could act as reservoirs for superbugs, which could potentially jump to humans.
Even in sparsely populated, remote spots, drug-resistant fungal strains are capable of propagating and spreading very quickly, researcher Jianping Xu says.
