ISSN/ISBN: 1684-1182 PMID: 11456364 Document Number: 538063
A review is presented describing mechanisms of action of antifungal agents, cellular factors contributing to drug resistance, the known molecular mechanisms of drug resistance, and proposed but unproven molecular mechanisms of drug resistance. It also proposes possible strategies for preventing antifungal drug resistance.
