therapeutic action: azole resistance suppression

Leveraging synthetic genetic array screening to identify therapeutic targets and inhibitors for combatting azole resistance in Candida glabrata

Candida glabrata is a dangerous fungus causing serious infections that is becoming resistant to antifungal drugs. Researchers used a genetic screening technique to find genes that interact with drug resistance mutations and identified methotrexate (a drug already used for arthritis) as a potential partner for fluconazole treatment. When combined, these drugs work better together against resistant strains of the fungus, offering hope for treating these stubborn infections.
