Antifungal drug-resistance mechanisms in Candida biofilms
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2022 Infections caused by the Candida species of human fungal pathogens are a significant medical problem because they can disseminate to nearly every organ of the body. In addition, there are only a few classes of antifungal drugs available to treat patients
