New work from the Prasad lab showing that Candida auris can become amphotericin resistant either by multiple, sterol dependent and sterol independent mechanisms. @MRCcmm @eurconfmedmycol @ISHAM_Mycology @youngisham @YoungECMM

Wang lab shows that in response to echinocandins C. albicans thickens its wall while C.auris stiffens the wall via upregulating B1,6 glucan and strengthening B1,6 - Mannan interactions. @eurconfmedmycol @YoungECMM @ISHAM_Mycology @youngisham @MRCcmm

Terrific opening talk at the ECFG17 by Ken Wolfe showing how killer toxins on viral like elements armed with a chitinase, an immunity factor and a tRNA specific endonuclease drove nuclear CTG codon reassignments that are unique to various yeast groups. ⁦@ECFG17Dublin⁩

Great venue here in Dublin for the 17th ECFG. Mind you, they should slacked off the support wires of the bridge outside. Seems to be playing havoc with the venue foundations! #ecfg17; ⁦@eurconfmedmycol⁩
