Together with Carol Munro, Aberdeen Fungal Group, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen, UK, Miguel Cacho Teixeira, BSRG-iBB, organized a special issue for FEMS Yeast Research, whose Editorial cover paper has just been released. Despite decades of research on important human fungal pathogens, a lot still needs to be done to uncover the elegant mechanisms used by different species to thrive in the human host and to convert that knowledge into improved clinical therapy. In this special issue, entitled “Yeast pathogenesis and drug resistance: the beauty of the BYeast”, fascinating views on the cross-talk between drug resistance acquisition, virulence, fitness, host interactions, and pathogenesis are put forward, highlighting the importance of the diversity of genome-scale approaches to unravel their intricate nature.
