New Hope For Immunocompromised Individuals With Drug-resistant Fungal Infections
Date: 11.2.2009
Even the most **drug-resistant fungi** can be eradicated in multiple in vitro and in vivo models using a lethal combination of an antifungal agent and inhibition of the heat shock protein Hsp90, according to a new study by Whitehead Institute and University of Toronto researchers. The findings could enable development of novel **antifungal therapies** for patients with compromised immune systems.
