Abstract

Review of Human Pathogenic Fungi: Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Mechanisms

Highlights

The invading eukaryotic fungal cells have enormous similarities to mammalian cells, which significantly complicate therapeutic approaches to combat fungal diseases, which most frequently occur in hosts with compromised immunity
In Part I, the chapters focus on recent advances in approaches to studying fungal pathogenesis
In Part II, specific fungi are separately presented with a particular emphasis on the current knowledge of their cellular and molecular biology

Summary

Introduction
