- MinireviewCandida auris: an Emerging Fungal Pathogen
MinireviewGenome-Based Prediction of Bacterial Antibiotic ResistanceClinical microbiology has long relied on growing bacteria in culture to determine antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, but the use of whole-genome sequencing for antibiotic susceptibility testing (WGS-AST) is now a powerful alternative. This review discusses the technologies that made this possible and presents results from recent studies to predict resistance based on genome sequences.

CommentaryInsights into the Unique Nature of the East Asian Clade of the Emerging Pathogenic Yeast Candida aurisThe emerging yeast Candida auris can be highly drug resistant, causing invasive infections, and large outbreaks. C. auris went from an unknown pathogen a decade ago to being reported in over thirty countries on six continents.
MycologyCandida auris Clinical Isolates from South Korea: Identification, Antifungal Susceptibility, and GenotypingCandida auris is an emerging worldwide fungal pathogen. Over the past 20 years, 61 patient isolates of C. auris (4 blood and 57 ear) have been obtained from 13 hospitals in Korea.
MinireviewToward the Development of a Circulating Free DNA-Based In Vitro Diagnostic Test for Infectious Diseases: a Review of Evidence for TuberculosisThe detection of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) has transformed the field of oncology and prenatal diagnostics. Clinical application of cfDNA for disease diagnosis and monitoring, however, is relatively recent in the field of infectious disease.
