Antifungal Use and Resistance in a Lower–Middle-Income Country: The Case of Lebanon

Antibiotics, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Antifungal resistance is often underestimated in both healthcare and non-clinical settings.

Potential Strategies to Control the Risk of Antifungal Resistance in Humans: A Comprehensive Review

Antibiotics, 2023
Fungal infections are becoming one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in people with weakened immune systems. Mycoses are becoming more common, despite greater knowledge and better treatment methods, due to the regular emergence of resistance ...

Antifungal resistance: from classical mechanisms to the expanding role of acetyltransferases [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Science
Antifungal resistance represents a growing global health challenge, driven by limited therapeutic options, inadequate use of both clinical and environmental drugs, and the remarkable adaptive capacity of fungal pathogens. While resistance has classically

Resistance to antifungal therapies

Essays in Biochemistry, 2017
The evolution of antifungal resistance among fungal pathogens has rendered the limited arsenal of antifungal drugs futile. Considering the recent rise in the number of nosocomial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, the emerging clinical ...

Opportunistic fungi in tropical beaches: Diversity, WHO fungal priority pathogens, and antifungal resistance case study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Tropical coastal regions, despite being major tourist destinations, remain underexplored in terms of their role as potential reservoirs of opportunistic fungal pathogens, particularly those listed on the WHO Fungal Priority Pathogens List (FPPL).

Antifungals and Drug Resistance

Encyclopedia, 2022
Antifungal drugs prevent topical or invasive fungal infections (mycoses) either by stopping growth of fungi (termed fungistatic) or by killing the fungal cells (termed fungicidal).

Candida Species Biofilms’ Antifungal Resistance [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Candida infections (candidiasis) are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection on humans and, as such, a major public health problem. In recent decades, candidiasis has been associated to Candida species other than Candida albicans.
