The powdery mildew fungi ( Erysiphaceae ) are globally distributed plant pathogens with a range of more than 10,000 plant hosts. In this review, we discuss the long‐ and short‐term evolution of these obligate biotrophic fungi and outline their diversity with respect to morphology, lifestyle, and host range. We highlight their remarkable ability to rapidly overcome plant immunity, evolve fungicide resistance, and broaden their...

This study compared standard of care testing (SOC) to BioFire® FilmArray® Pneumonia plus Panel (PN plus ). PN plus detects 15 bacteria with semiquantitative log bin values, 7 antibiotic resistance markers, three atypical bacteria (AB), and eight viral classes directly from bronchoalveolar lavage-like specimens (BLS) and sputum-like specimens (SLS). Fifty-two laboratories from 13 European countries and Israel tested 1234 BLS an...
