Genomic Context of Azole Resistance Mutations in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Aspergillus fumigatus</named-content> Determined Using Whole-Genome Sequencing
ABSTRACT A rapid and global emergence of azole resistance has been observed in the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus over the past decade. The dominant resistance mechanism appears to be of environmental origin and involves mutations in the cyp51A gene, which encodes a protein targeted by tria...
