Nature Microbiology - A mycovirus drives the fitness of the lung-infecting fungus Aspergillus fumigatus under stress, helping it to survive within immune cells, and thus shaping its pathogenesis.

Nature Microbiology - This Review discusses the evolution, emergence and expansion of environmental fungicide and antifungal drug resistance.

Background. Nanopore‐based sequencing by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers rapid, cost‐effective and portable sequencing. As an emerging technology, ONT must be evaluated for efficacy and prac...

Fungi are a major global health concern, responsible for over a billion infections annually and an estimated 1.5 million deaths each year. Despite their substantial impact on human health and healthca...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes considerable morbidity and mortality in both community-acquired and healthcare-associated infections, but detecting colonization with MRSA…

From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science.
