#Superbugs #Coccidioides

From CNN.com: The next superbug threat is already here. It’s going to be even harder to overcome

Coccidioides is a fungal #pathogen that forms a unique structure, the spherule. This transcriptomic study of #Coccidioides development reveals spherule-specific gene regulation, Ryp1-dependent virulence factors, and potential #antifungal therapeutic targets @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4cINMpl

Clickbait headline. “Spread” implies contagion but body of article: “This infection, primarily found in Arizona and California, is not contagious, meaning it cannot be transmitted from person to person, health officials said.” #ValleyFever #coccidioides #coccidioidomycosis #fungi
