Triazole Resistance and Misidentification of <i>Aspergillus tubingensis</i> in Southern California
In this cross-sectional study of Aspergillus isolates from Kaiser Permanente Southern California, A tubingensis was a prevalent but underrecognized cause of aspergillosis in Southern California. Its frequent misidentification, association with invasive infections, and triazole resistance underscore the need for improved diagnostics and species-specific epidemiological investigations.
