A multidimensional assessment of in-host fitness costs of drug resistance in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida glabrata

This study assesses the fitness costs of drug resistance in C. glabrata isolates across different host environments, showing reduced fitness in macrophages and gut but comparable fitness in the spleen.

Overlooked Candida glabrata petites are echinocandin tolerant, induce host inflammatory responses, and display poor in vivo fitness

This study investigates petite C. glabrata strains, showing they are echinocandin tolerant, induce inflammation, and have poor in vivo fitness, with low global prevalence.
