Top: On experimentally evolving drug-susceptible, diploid (2n) C. tropicalis strains in the presence of an agricultural fungicide tebuconazole (TBZ), cells of varying ploidy states can be obtained including haploid (n), triploid (3n), aneuploid (such as 2n + 1) and segmental aneuploid (SA) cells. Owing to the ploidy shifts and an altered transcriptome, haploid cells exhibit resistance to both agricultural and clinical azoles, are mating-competent, and undergo filamentation—all at a fitness cost reflected in the growth rate and virulence. Middle: Mating observed in haploid cells is shown. Mating ploidy states are connected by blue lines, and the resulting ploidy states by black arrows. Bottom: Model depicting the emergence of azole-resistant strains in the farmlands, cross-resistance to clinical azoles and possible transmission to clinics. Created using Biorender.com.
