Do farnesol and tyrosol production in Candidozyma auris biofilms reflect virulence potential?
VirulenceCandidozyma auris is associated with nosocomial outbreaks presenting high resistance rates to antifungal. Since its emergence in 2009, research has been carried out on the underlying quorum sensing molecules (QSMs), such as farnesol (Far) and tyrosol ...

Photodynamic Antifungal Chemotherapy† [PDF]
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2012 AbstractThe growing resistance against antifungal drugs has renewed the search for alternative treatment modalities, and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) seems to be a potential candidate. Preliminary findings have demonstrated that dermatophytes and yeasts can be effectively sensitized in vitro and in vivo by administering photosensitizers ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
