The widespread use of azoles, an important class of fungicides, leads to the development of resistance in fungi that are pathogenic to humans and animals or plants. Aspergillus fumigatus is a common fungus that poses a health threat to people with weakened immune systems, and azole resistance in this fungus is spreading globally.
As a part of the network project, AMRprevent, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute has produced a new video to draw more attention to antimicrobial resistance, and create an understanding of the development of fungicide resistance and its challenges.
