Genomic characterization reveals antifungal resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans from zebra dove excreta, suggesting the need for improved farm sanitation.

Key Points

All Cryptococcus neoformans isolates were susceptible to amphotericin B, indicating strong effectiveness of this antifungal treatment.
One isolate (DOP3) exhibited resistance to fluconazole and itraconazole, highlighting emerging antifungal resistance concerns.
Whole-genomic sequencing revealed 14 chromosomes in the resistant isolate, along with numerous candidate resistance genes associated with azole antifungals.
This research represents the first identification of Cryptococcus neoformans (serotype A) from zebra dove excreta, emphasizing public health risks.
