Fungal Drug Response and Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesJournal 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.

Mitochondria-Mediated Azole Drug Resistance and Fungal Pathogenicity: Opportunities for Therapeutic Development

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
In recent years, the role of mitochondria in pathogenic fungi in terms of azole resistance and fungal pathogenicity has been a rapidly developing field. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanisms by which mitochondria are involved in regulating

Fungal Cell Wall: Emerging Antifungals and Drug Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cell wall is an essential component in fungal homeostasis. The lack of a covering wall in human cells makes this component an attractive target for antifungal development. The host environment and antifungal stress can lead to cell wall modifications

Development and research progress of anti-drug resistant fungal drugs

open access: yesJournal of Infection and Public Health, 2022
With the widespread use of immunosuppressive agents and the increase in patients with severe infections, the incidence of fungal infections worldwide has increased year by year.

Epigenetic Regulation of Antifungal Drug Resistance

open access: yesJournal 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.

The Microevolution of Antifungal Drug Resistance in Pathogenic Fungi

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The mortality rates of invasive fungal infections remain high because of the limited number of antifungal drugs available and antifungal drug resistance, which can rapidly evolve during treatment.

Antifungals and Drug Resistance

open access: yesEncyclopedia, 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).

An epigenetic mechanism of azole tolerance facilitates acquired antifungal resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Antibiotic tolerance paves the way for acquired resistance in bacterial pathogens. However, the mechanisms of tolerance and its evolutionary role in acquired resistance in pathogenic fungi, and particularly in filamentous fungi, remain elusive.
