Antifungal resistance is a growing threat to public health, with a drastic reduction in the effectiveness of classic antifungals, such as azoles. Thousands of people die annually as a consequence of fungal infections associated with the long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppressive therapies, ICU admissions, extensive burns, major surgery, malignancy and, currently, the C…
Infections caused by fungi have been a growing concern in recent years, representing an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in hospitalized patients and the immunocompromised population. The progressive acquisition of resistance by pathogens to the limited antifungal pharmacological repertoire available represents an extremely serious challenge for the control of these …
Candida species are members of the normal microbiota of human body. When there is an imbalance in the relationship between microbiota and host, these can become opportunistic pathogens, being C. albicans the most common isolated species. The systemic or visceral candidiasis presents as localized infectious symptoms and can spread to other organs through haematogenic route. The antifungal …
