The Hsp90 co-chaperone Sgt1 governs Candida albicans morphogenesis and drug resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The molecular chaperone Hsp90 orchestrates regulatory circuitry governing fungal morphogenesis, biofilm development, drug resistance, and virulence. Hsp90 functions in concert with co-chaperones to regulate stability and activation of client proteins ...

Potential Strategies to Control the Risk of Antifungal Resistance in Humans: A Comprehensive Review
Antibiotics, 2023 Fungal infections are becoming one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in people with weakened immune systems. Mycoses are becoming more common, despite greater knowledge and better treatment methods, due to the regular emergence of resistance ...

Drug-Resistant Fungi: An Emerging Challenge Threatening Our Limited Antifungal Armamentarium
Antibiotics, 2020 The high clinical mortality and economic burden posed by invasive fungal infections (IFIs), along with significant agricultural crop loss caused by various fungal species, has resulted in the widespread use of antifungal agents.

The Quiet and Underappreciated Rise of Drug-Resistant Invasive Fungal Pathogens [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Human fungal pathogens are attributable to a significant economic burden and mortality worldwide. Antifungal treatments, although limited in number, play a pivotal role in decreasing mortality and morbidities posed by invasive fungal infections (IFIs). However, the recent emergence of multidrug-resistant Candida auris and Candida glabrata and acquiring

The Microevolution of Antifungal Drug Resistance in Pathogenic Fungi
Microorganisms, 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.

Psychogenetic, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in Candida auris: Role in drug resistance
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2023 In recent years, we are facing the challenge of drug resistance emergence in fungi. The availability of limited antifungals and development of multi-drug resistance in fungal pathogens has become a serious concern in the past years in the health sector ...
