Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Fungi is announcing a Special Issue dedicated to "New Discoveries on Antifungal Drugs", as the rising incidence of fungal infections and increasing resistance to existing treatments, such as the emerging forms of Candida auris that are multiresistant to antifungal drugs, demand innovative approaches. This Special Issue will feature research and review manuscripts on recent advances in antifungal drugs and strategies. These include introducing novel antifungal drugs, strategies employing combination therapy to overcome fungal resistance, and the potential for repurposing drugs with antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Furthermore, we invite submissions investigating the challenges associated with fungal resistance and novel techniques developed for evaluating the susceptibility of pathogenic fungi. Understanding the mechanisms of antifungal resistance is also within the scope of this Special Issue. Together, these contributions will provide crucial insights into innovative strategies for overcoming resistance and novel methods for evaluating fungal susceptibility, thereby addressing the growing threat of antifungal resistance.
Dr. Erico Silva De Loreto
