Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Candida auris on 3 Continents Confirmed by Whole-Genome Sequencing and Epidemiological Analyses
Shawn R. Lockhart,Kizee A. Etienne,Snigdha Vallabhaneni,Joveria Farooqi,Anuradha Chowdhary,Nelesh P. Govender,Arnaldo Lopes Colombo,Belinda Calvo,Christina A. Cuomo,Christopher A. Desjardins,Elizabeth L. Berkow,Mariana Castanheira,Rindidzani E. Magobo,Kauser Jabeen,Rana Jawad Asghar,Jacques F. Meis,Brendan R Jackson,Tom Chiller,Anastasia P. Litvintseva +18 more
TL;DR: Candida auris is an emerging healthcare-associated pathogen associated with high mortality, and WGS analysis suggests nearly simultaneous, and recent, independent emergence of different clonal populations on 3 continents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necrotizing cutaneous mucormycosis after a Tornado in Joplin, Missouri, in 2011
Robyn Neblett Fanfair,Kaitlin Benedict,John Bos,Sarah D. Bennett,Yi-Chun Lo,Tolu Adebanjo,Kizee A. Etienne,Eszter Deak,Gordana Derado,Wun Ju Shieh,Clifton P. Drew,Sherif R. Zaki,David E. Sugerman,Lalitha Gade,Elizabeth H. Thompson,Deanna A. Sutton,David M. Engelthaler,James M. Schupp,Mary E. Brandt,Julie R. Harris,Shawn R. Lockhart,George Turabelidze,Benjamin J. Park +22 more
TL;DR: A cluster of cases of cutaneous mucormycosis among Joplin tornado survivors that were associated with substantial morbidity and mortality are reported and increased awareness of fungi as a cause of necrotizing soft-tissue infections after a natural disaster is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azole Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from the ARTEMIS Global Surveillance Study Is Primarily Due to the TR/L98H Mutation in the cyp51A Gene
Shawn R. Lockhart,Joao P. Frade,Kizee A. Etienne,Michael A. Pfaller,Daniel J. Diekema,S. Arunmozhi Balajee +5 more
TL;DR: Sequencing of the cyp51A gene revealed that 8/29 isolates with elevated MIC values to one or more triazoles contained the TR/L98H mutation associated with resistant European isolates of A. fumigatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated genomic and transcriptomic survey of mucormycosis-causing fungi
Marcus C. Chibucos,Sameh S. M. Soliman,Sameh S. M. Soliman,Teclegiorgis Gebremariam,Hongkyu Lee,Sean C. Daugherty,Joshua Orvis,Amol C. Shetty,Jonathan Crabtree,Tracy H. Hazen,Kizee A.

Bruno +21 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the host transcriptional response to Mucorales reveals platelet-derived growth factor receptor B signaling as part of a core response to divergent pathogenic fungi; inhibition of PDGFRB reduces MucOrales-induced damage to host cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole Genome Sequence Typing to Investigate the Apophysomyces Outbreak following a Tornado in Joplin, Missouri, 2011
Kizee A. Etienne,John D. Gillece,Remy Hilsabeck,J. M. Schupp,Rebecca E. Colman,Shawn R. Lockhart,Lalitha Gade,Elizabeth H. Thompson,Deanna A. Sutton,Robyn Neblett-Fanfair,Benjamin J. Park,George Turabelidze,Paul Keim,Mary E. Brandt,Eszter Deak,David M. Engelthaler +15 more
TL;DR: Though no linkage between genotype and location of exposure was observed, WGST analysis determined that the Joplin isolates were more closely related to each other than to the control isolates, suggesting local population structure.
