Emerging threats in antifungal-resistant fungal pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2016 The use of antifungal drugs in the therapy of fungal diseases can lead to the development of antifungal resistance. Resistance has been described for virtually all antifungal agents in diverse pathogens including Candida and Aspergilli species.
