Molecular Mechanisms of Antifungal Drug Resistance in Candida Species [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Invasive Candidal infections have emerged as one of the major threats to the world. Although, many new antifungal drugs have been developed in the recent years, the emergence of drug resistance has become a major deterrent in the antifungal therapy ...

Examining Signatures of Natural Selection in Antifungal Resistance Genes Across Aspergillus Fungi
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2021 Certain Aspergillus fungi cause aspergillosis, a set of diseases that typically affect immunocompromised individuals. Most cases of aspergillosis are caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, which infects millions of people annually.

Update on Antifungal Drug Resistance. [PDF]
Curr Clin Microbiol Rep, 2015 Invasive fungal infections remain a major source of global morbidity and mortality, especially among patients with underlying immune suppression. Successful patient management requires antifungal therapy. Yet, treatment choices are restricted due to limited classes of antifungal agents and the emergence of antifungal drug resistance.

Histone Acetylation Regulator Gcn5 Mediates Drug Resistance and Virulence of Candida glabrata
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Candida glabrata is poised to adapt to drug pressure rapidly and acquire antifungal resistance leading to therapeutic failure. Given the limited antifungal armamentarium, there is an unmet need to explore new targets or therapeutic strategies for ...

Mechanisms of Antifungal Drug Resistance. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med, 2014 Antifungal therapy is a central component of patient management for acute and chronic mycoses. Yet, treatment choices are restricted because of the sparse number of antifungal drug classes. Clinical management of fungal diseases is further compromised by the emergence of antifungal drug resistance, which eliminates available drug classes as treatment ...

Hsp90 governs dispersion and drug resistance of fungal biofilms [PDF]
, 2011 Fungal biofilms are a major cause of human mortality and are recalcitrant to most treatments due to intrinsic drug resistance. These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires ...

Genetic basis of antifungal drug resistance [PDF]
Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2009 Antifungal resistance caused by mutations of the drug target, overexpression of the drug target, and drug efflux by the upregulation of transporters is increasingly common. Recently our understanding of fungal drug resistance has been advanced by the identification of three key transcriptional regulators of resistance: Tac1p, Upc2p, and Mrr1p.
