Anti-Therapeutic Action: monotherapy with EV inhibitors alone showed minimal antifungal effects at clinically relevant concentrations

Vesicle inhibition reduces Candida biofilm resistance

Researchers found that common FDA-approved drugs designed to block vesicle production in human cells can also reduce the protective matrix that Candida fungus builds around itself in biofilms. By combining these vesicle-blocking drugs with the antifungal fluconazole, the scientists were able to kill biofilm-forming Candida more effectively than either treatment alone. This discovery suggests a new approach to treating stubborn fungal infections on medical devices like catheters, potentially eliminating the need to surgically remove infected equipment.
