A Novel Environmental Azole Resistance Mutation in <italic toggle="yes">Aspergillus fumigatus</italic> and a Possible Role of Sexual Reproduction in Its Emergence

ABSTRACT This study investigated the dynamics of Aspergillus fumigatus azole-resistant phenotypes in two compost heaps with contrasting azole exposures: azole free and azole exposed. After heat shock, to which sexual but not asexual spores are highly resistant, the azole-free compost yielded 98% (49...
