Aspergillus fumigatus Raw sequence reads

The opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is found on all continents, and thrives in soil and agricultural environments. Its ability to readily adapt to novel environments and to produce billions of spores led to the spread of azole-resistant A. fumigatus across the globe, posing a threat to many immunocompromised patients, including critically-ill patients with severe influenza or COVID-19. In our study we sought to compare the adaptational response to azoles from A. fumigatus isolates that differ in azole susceptibility and genetic background. To gain more insight in how short-term adaptation to stressful azole compounds is managed through gene expression, we conducted an RNA-seq study on the response of A. fumigatus to itraconazole and the newest clinically approved azole, isavuconazole. We observed many similarities in ergosterol biosynthesis up-regulation across isolates with the exception of the pan-azole resistant isolate, which showed very little differential regulation in comparison to other isolates. Additionally, we found differential regulation of membrane efflux transporters, secondary metabolites, iron metabolism, and various stress-response and cell signaling mechanisms.
