Fungal Cell Wall: Emerging Antifungals and Drug Resistance

Fungal Cell Wall: Emerging Antifungals and Drug Resistance

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 related to drug resistance. Antifungals targe...
