This volume contains 13 chapters on antifungal research from a molecular and genomic perspective, discussing the molecular mechanisms responsible for antifungal resistance to the classical molecules, azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins; fungal biofilms; fungal-specific biological pathways that constitute potential new targets; drug combinations as a strategy to potentiate existing antifungal agents; strategies for the identification of the mode of action of antifungal drug candidates; the impact of high-throughput screenings of chemical compound collections; modulating the host response; antifungal vaccines and immunotherapeutics; and animal models. Contributors are microbiologists and other researchers from Europe, North America, Argentina, and South Africa. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
