MDR pathogens can't prevail because they carry severe fitness costs. WRONG!!!
It's time to raise awareness about the importance of MDR Candida parapsilosis. 
Never underestimate this nasty phenotype.

[Amir Arastehfar @Amir36520680]

3. Can echinocandin persistence level impact the rate of echinocandin resistance?
4. How properly stratify tolerance using cfu counting and is there any method alternative to cfu counting?
5. Shall we include echinocandin persistence in clinical routine? What are the next steps?

[Amir Arastehfar @Amir36520680]

1. Can echinocandin persistence determination in vitro among susceptible isolates inform their survival during echinocandin treatment in systemic infection?
2. Does determination of echinocandin persistence have any potential clinical values?

@JongAukede Congratulations 👏

[Farnaz, Ph.D. @farnazDan66]

Had a pleasure to present one of our interesting stories about C.parapsilosis. Congrats to @Amir36520680 for his great talk, and congratulations to all the @Mansour_Lab members who did a great job in #IDWeek2023.

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

The fungal pathogen, Candida glabrata, forms small, & slow-growing colonies, called “petite.” What is the clinical importance of petiteness? Researchers used multiple omics technologies & in vivo mouse models to find out. Find the results in @mbiojournal: https://t.co/nM9hIgPPdx

[Amir Arastehfar @Amir36520680]

@ClancyNeil
Following your post, I am adding our original paper, where we intensively worked on genomic changes leading to petite phenotype, its implication using ex vivo and in vivo models, and epidemiological prevalence. Full story here,
