Compensatory evolution after evolving resistance well documented for bacteria and for malaria parasites - and I'm sure other instances - here described for candida auris as well.

Out now: Acquired amphotericin B resistance leads to fitness trade-offs that can be mitigated by compensatory evolution in Candida auris 🍄💊 @vandijcklab @CarolusHans @PatrickDijck

@gushamilton Thanks, very helpful. RCT was a lower risk group (for obvious reasons). Looked at Kumar et al and agree looks staggering to get ORs of 92 by end. Agree overstatement, propensity score adjustments would help, but "know it's wrong" also seems overstatement to me.

@gushamilton Interested in hearing more - how do we know it is false?
