Fungal Drug Response and Antimicrobial Resistance
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Antifungal resistance is a growing concern as it poses a significant threat to public health. Fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Fungal Biofilms and Drug Resistance
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Candida species, including the novel opportunistic pathogen Candida dubliniensis, are now emerging as major agents of nosocomial infections. Many such manifestations of infections associated with the formation of Candida biofilms include those occurring ...

Hsp90 governs dispersion and drug resistance of fungal biofilms. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Fungal biofilms are a major cause of human mortality and are recalcitrant to most treatments due to intrinsic drug resistance. These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires ...

Epigenetic Regulation of Antifungal Drug Resistance
Journal of Fungi, 2022 In medical mycology, epigenetic mechanisms are emerging as key regulators of multiple aspects of fungal biology ranging from development, phenotypic and morphological plasticity to antifungal drug resistance.

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).

Lysine Deacetylases Hda1 and Rpd3 Regulate Hsp90 Function thereby Governing Fungal Drug Resistance
Cell Reports, 2012 The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a hub of protein homeostasis and regulatory circuitry. Hsp90 function is regulated by posttranslational modifications including acetylation in mammals; however, whether this regulation is conserved remains unknown.
