The first whole-genome study of a filamentous fungus from bovine mastitis shows the isolate kept low MICs to most azoles yet jumped off-scale for the echinocandin class. The genome also carried intact toxin-building gene clusters, a reminder that fungal mastitis is an under-surveyed front in dairy health. Quick answer A bovine mastitis isolate of Aspergillus fumigatus showed low minimum inhibitory concentrations to amphotericin B, itraconazole, posaconazole, and voriconazole, but off-scale values above 8 micrograms per milliliter for three echinocandins. Whole-genome sequencing found no classic resistance mutation, pointing instead to a tolerance-like state. The work argues for genomic surveillance of fungal mastitis, not just bacterial. Why antifungal susceptibility in dairy cattle…
