New Antifungals - Editors in Conversation

In the last few years we have witnessed the rise of very resistant fungal species some of them likely influenced by environmental conditions and climate change. Fortunately, there has been a bit of an explosion in the development of new antifungals and the pipeline has been strengthened in the last decade. We will have the ability to have new molecules with distinct and novel mechanisms of action in the near future that may contribute to combat recalcitrant fungal infections. Today, we discuss this very hot topic with experts in the field who are also editors of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. Welcome to the editors in conversation. Topics covered: • The overall threat of fungal resistance. • The antifungal pipeline in the last few years. • New promising antifungals This episode of Editors in Conversation is brought to you by the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal and hosted by AAC Editor in Chief, Cesar Arias.
