Pneumocystis is an unwieldy genus of fungal pathogens that cause severe pneumonia, particularly in immunocompromised people like those with HIV/AIDs or who have received organ transplants. However, the mechanisms by which it infects a host organism—and how it acquires resistance to known treatments—remain largely unknown, which makes devising new therapeutics a formidable challenge.
