Establishment of epidemiological cutoff values for Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the primary etiologic agent of chromoblastomycosis, and eight antifungal medications

Researchers from multiple countries tested 148 samples of this fungus against eight different antifungal medications to determine how well each drug works. They established baseline measurements that doctors can use to determine if a patient’s fungal infection might not respond well to standard treatments, helping guide better treatment decisions.
