Out now @JournalSpectrum, Bettina Böttcher's discovered that fungal tRNA modification affects host-induced filamentation- which in turn modulates 𝘊. 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴 virulence. https://t.co/3VadOl2zZx

With 6 times more infections by Candida auris than in previous years, the #NRZMyk @Uni_WUE and @LeibnizHKI have now reported a marked rise. The #NRZMyk suggests improving screening and hygiene measures to better protect against the further spread of the dangerous fungus.
