Insight into the Mechanisms and Clinical Relevance of Antifungal Heteroresistance

Abstract excerpt

Antifungal resistance poses a critical global health threat, particularly in immuno-compromised patients. Beyond the traditional resistance mechanisms rooted in heritable and stable mutations, a distinct phenomenon known as heteroresistance has been identified, wherein a minority of resistant fungal cells coexist within a predominantly susceptible population. Heteroresistance may be induced by pharmacological...
