mycolabadmin

Researchers used advanced chemical analysis to identify different compounds produced by a dangerous fungus called Candida auris that can cause serious infections. They compared fungal strains that were resistant to the antifungal drug fluconazole with those that were susceptible, finding that resistant strains produced different metabolites (chemical compounds) than susceptible ones. These findings could help doctors develop better treatments by identifying what makes this fungus resistant to current medications.
