Antifungal chemotherapies and immunotherapies for the future
Abstract Human fungal pathogens cause a broad plethora of infections, spanning cutaneous dermatophytoses to invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. As eukaryotic pathogens are capable of morphotype switching, they present unique challenges both for drug development and the immunological response.
