The genomes of Scedosporium between environmental challenges and opportunism by Francesco Venice, Federica Spina, Domenico Davolos, Stefano Ghignone, Giovanna Cristina Varese

“…Therefore, the present genomics and transcriptomics investigation stands on the edge between stress resistance and pathogenic potential, to elucidate whether fungi were pre-adapted to infect humans. We highlight the strengths and limitations of genomics applied to opportunistic human pathogens, the multifactoriality of pathogenicity and resistance to drugs, and suggest a scenario where pressures other than anthropic contributed to forge filamentous human pathogens.…”
