Antifungal resistance is growing – will new treatments turn the tables. Very happy to be featured in this important Nature outlook alongside many icons of the Mycology field.

Antifungal resistance is growing – will new treatments turn the tables?
Trials of drugs to fight deadly resistant infections are advancing, but they might fall victim to overuse of agricultural fungicides just like their predecessors.

Use of some antifungal pesticides may select for resistant fungi in the environment, which can then endanger human health. Coordinated regulatory processes in this area are important.

Health risks with environmental changes and mould exposure. Key impacts of flooding include increased precipitation, rising sea levels and land use changes, leading to indoor mould growth and health risks such as respiratory issues, asthma exacerbation and mould infections. Case studies highlight varying health outcomes from Hurricane Katrina and Rita (2005), Colorado Flood (2013) and Hurricane Harvey (2017). Drivers of emerging fungal pathogens in a changing world. Climate change factors, such as rising temperatures and increasing resistance to fungicides, enhance fungal thermotolerance and drive the emergence of pathogens. Social determinants, including urbanisation, global travel and limited healthcare access, heighten human vulnerability to fungal infections. Other contributing factors, like environmental niches and unconfirmed environmental sources, further support the spread and persistence of fungal pathogens. These drivers contribute to the emergence of pathogens like Candida auris, Candida orthopsilosis and Cryptococcus deuterogatii. Climate change and antifungal resistance: key mechanisms and pathogen examples. Climate change drives the development of antifungal resistance through mechanisms such as environmental pollution with fungicides, prolonged heat stress and increased mutation rates in fungi. These conditions promote genetic mutations, increased resistance to antifungal drugs and more challenging infections in humans and plants
