- W3034654810 abstract "The increasing human population requires ongoing efforts in food production. This is frequently associated with an increased use of agrochemicals, leading to environmental contamination and altering microbial communities, including human fungal pathogens that reside in the environment. Cryptococcus gattii is an environmental yeast and is one of the etiological agents of cryptococcosis. Benomyl (BEN) is a broad-spectrum fungicide used on several crops. To study the effects of agrochemicals on fungal pathogens, we first evaluated the susceptibility of C. gattii to BEN and the interactions with clinical antifungals. Antagonistic interaction between BEN and fluconazole was seen and was strain- and concentration-dependent. We then induced BEN-resistance by culturing strains in increasing drug concentrations. One strain demonstrated to be more resistant and showed increased multidrug efflux pump gene (MDR1) expression and increased rhodamine 6G efflux, leading to cross-resistance between BEN and fluconazole. Morphologically, BEN-adapted cells had a reduced polysaccharide capsule; an increased surface/volume ratio; increased growth rate in vitro and inside macrophages and also higher ability in crossing an in vitro model of blood-brain-barrier. BEN-adapted strain demonstrated to be hypervirulent in mice, leading to severe symptoms of cryptococcosis, early mortality and higher fungal burden in the organs, particularly the brain. The parental strain was avirulent in murine model. In vivo cross-resistance between BEN and fluconazole was observed, with mice infected with the adapted strain unable to present any improvement in survival and behavior when treated with this antifungal. Furthermore, BEN-adapted cells cultured in drug-free media maintained the hypervirulent and cross-resistant phenotype, suggesting a persistent effect of BEN on C. gattii. In conclusion, exposure to BEN induces cross-resistance with fluconazole and increases the virulence of C. gattii. Altogether, our results indicate that agrochemicals may lead to unintended consequences on non-target species and this could result in severe healthy problems worldwide." @default.
