1725. Shear Forces Induce a Transient, Calcineurin-Dependent Hyper-Virulent Phenotype in Mucorales via Soluble Factors

BACKGROUND: Myocutaneous mucormycosis is encountered in settings of extreme mechanical forces such as combat-related blast injuries or natural catastrophes. It is unclear whether the virulence of Mucorales is affected by mechano-biological factors such as shear forces (SF). METHODS: Spores of clinic...
