Anti-Therapeutic Action: wild-type A. fumigatus shows resistance to antifungals and high virulence

The cyclase-associated protein contributes to antifungal susceptibility and virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus

Researchers found that removing a specific protein called CAP from a dangerous mold called Aspergillus fumigatus makes it much weaker and easier to kill with antifungal drugs. This mold normally causes serious lung infections in people with weak immune systems. The study showed that CAP helps the mold grow and resist medicines, and blocking it could be a new way to treat these dangerous infections.
