Scientists Strip Deadly Fungus of Its Defenses
Original: Scientists Strip Deadly Fungus of Its Defenses, Turning a Static Drug into a Killer
Researchers report that they have removed the defensive mechanisms of a deadly fungus, transforming a previously static drug — one that merely halted fungal growth — into a fungicidal agent that actively kills the pathogen. The advance could improve treatment options for dangerous fungal infections, an area where drug development has lagged and resistance is a growing concern.
Why now: New research suggests a way to make existing antifungal drugs more effective against deadly infections.
