Anti-Therapeutic Action: azole tolerance

Synergistic effects of Cyp51 isozyme-specific azole antifungal agents on fungi with multiple cyp51 isozyme genes

This study found that different azole antifungal drugs work better against different versions of an enzyme (Cyp51) that fungi need to survive. By combining two azole drugs that each target different enzyme versions, researchers achieved stronger antifungal effects than either drug alone. This discovery suggests a new strategy for treating stubborn fungal infections by carefully selecting drug combinations based on which enzyme versions the fungus possesses.
