A Novel Resistance Pathway for Calcineurin Inhibitors in the Human-Pathogenic Mucorales <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mucor circinelloides</named-content>

ABSTRACT Mucormycosis is an emerging lethal fungal infection in immunocompromised patients. Mucor circinelloides is a causal agent of mucormycosis and serves as a model system to understand genetics in Mucorales. Calcineurin is a conserved virulence factor in many pathogenic fungi, and calcineurin i...
