MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF DRUG RESISTANCE IN CANDIDA ALBICANS: ROLE OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS MCM1 AND ADA2 [PDF]

, 2011
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for localized as well as disseminated infections. C. albicans is the most commonly isolated specie from blood cultures, accounting for over 60% of all Candida isolates. The fungistatic drug

A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...
