P57S the prevalence of DHPS mutations in Pneumocystis jirovecii strains isolated from South African Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia patients are examined. Mutations resulting in amino-acid substitutions Thr55Ala and/or Pro57Ser are detected in Pneumocystis jirovecii from 85/151 (56%) patients. The high frequency of PCP episodes with Pneumocystis jirovecii harbouring DHPS mutations in South Africa indicates that populations of this fungus are evolving under considerable selective pressure exerted by sulfa-containing antibiotics Pneumocystis jirovecii
