Study Finds Genetic Testing Reveals Often Overlooked Fungal Infections in California Clinics

 A new study published in JAMA Network Open reveals that a rarely-diagnosed and frequently drug-resistant species, Aspergillus tubingensis, may be one of the most common causes of fungal infections in Southern California. Using genome sequencing, researchers found that this fungi is routinely misidentified as another fungal species, potentially masking its true impact on public health. Read the press release.
