Fungal cell barriers and organelles are disrupted by Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)
Scientific Reports, 2022 Abstract The similarities between fungal and mammalian cells pose inherent challenges for the development of treatments for fungal infections, due to drug crossover recognition of host drug targets by antifungal agents. Thus, there are a limited number of drug classes available for treatment.
