Antifungal drug resistance mechanisms
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2009 Antifungal resistance is a prominent feature in the management of invasive mycoses, with important implications for morbidity and mortality. Microbiological resistance, the most common cause of refractory infection, is associated with a fungal pathogen for which an antifungal MIC is higher than average or within the range designated as the resistant ...

Update on Antifungal Drug Resistance [PDF]
Current Clinical Microbiology Reports, 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.

Antifungal resistance in superficial mycoses
Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2021 With the widespread use of antifungals to treat superficial mycoses, reports of antifungal resistance are increasing. Antifungal resistance is becoming a public health challenge and needs to be addressed in parallel with antibacterial and antiviral resistance.We review the growing resistance of fungal pathogens such as Trichophyton species and the ...
