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

Hsp90 orchestrates stress response signaling governing fungal drug resistance. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 The emergence of drug resistance in microbial pathogens provides a poignant example of an evolutionary process with a profound impact on human health. Fungal drug resistance poses a particular concern given the limited number of clinically useful antifungal drugs and the growing population of immunocompromised individuals vulnerable to life-threatening

Fungal Biofilms, Drug Resistance, and Recurrent Infection [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014 A biofilm is a surface-associated microbial community. Diverse fungi are capable of biofilm growth. The significance of this growth form for infection biology is that biofilm formation on implanted devices is a major cause of recurrent infection. Biofilms also have limited drug susceptibility, making device-associated infection extremely difficult to ...
