Antifungal Drug Resistance: An Emergent Health Threat

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Fungal infections, named mycosis, can cause severe invasive and systemic diseases that can even lead to death. In recent years, epidemiological data have recorded an increase in cases of severe fungal infections, caused mainly by a growing number of ...

Antifungal drug resistance mechanisms

open access: yesExpert 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 ...

Antifungal Resistance in Pathogenic Fungi [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2002
Pathogenic fungi are the cause of life-threatening infections in an increasing number of immunocompromised patients. The intrinsic resistance to antifungal therapy observed in some genera, along with the development of resistance during treatment in others, is becoming a major problem in the management of these diseases. We reviewed the epidemiology of
