6VSI - PubMed Abstract: 
International concern over the recent emergence of Candida auris infections reflects not only its comparative ease of transmission and substantial mortality but the increasing level of resistance observed to all three major classes of antifungal drugs. Diminution in virulence has been reported for a wide range of fungal pathogens when the FK506-binding protein FKBP12 binds to that immunosuppressant drug and the binary complex then inhibits the fungal calcineurin signaling pathway ...
