Fungal pathogens commonly originate from benign or non-pathogenic strains living in the natural environment. The recently emerged human pathogen, Candida auris, is one example of a fungus believed to have originated environment and transitioned into clinical setting. To date, however, there limited evidence about origins this species when it began associating with humans. One approach overcome gap reconstruct phylogenetic relationships between (1) isolated non-clinical environments (2) known...
Wastewater microbial communities are not static and can vary significantly across time space, but this variation the factors driving observed spatiotemporal often remain undetermined. We used a shotgun metagenomic approach to investigate changes in wastewater 17 locations sewer network, with samples collected from each location over 3-week period. Fecal material-derived bacteria constituted relatively small fraction of taxa found samples, highlighting importance environmental sources sewage...
Despite their global presence and ubiquity, members of the class Geoglossomycetes (Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota) are understudied systematically ecologically. These fungi have long been presumed saprobic due to occurrence in or near leaf litter soils. Additionally, they lack an apparent association with other organisms, reinforcing this perception. However, observations sporocarps ericaceous shrubs given rise alternative hypothesis that may form ericoid mycorrhizae ectomycorrhizae. This claim,...
ABSTRACT Emerging fungal pathogens commonly originate from benign or non-pathogenic strains living in the natural environment. Assessing evolutionary relationships between pathogenic and species is one approach for tracing origins of pathogenicity across species. The recently emerged human pathogen, Candida auris belongs to Candida/Clavispora clade, a diverse group 45 yeast including environmental saprobes. C. believed have originated environment transitioned pathogen. We present...
