Figure 2. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree constructed based on whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms and phylogenetic clades in a study of antifungal-resistant Candida haemulonii in China. Information is labeled for each strain: geographic origin, antifungal susceptibilities for representative drugs of different classes (fluconazole, amphotericin B, and 5-fluorocytosine), and key amino acid substitutions related to antifungal resistance that were observed in genes encoding lanosterol 14-α-demethylase (ERG11) and uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (FUR1). The tree was rooted to strain B10441 (CBS5149), which is the most ancient C. haemulonii strain, identified in 1962 (from Haemulon sciurus). All remaining strains were isolated after 2010.
