This book, together with its companion volume "Pathogenic Fungi: Structural Biology and Taxonomy", brings together expert international authors who critically review current topics, and through the provision of extensive reference sections positively encourage readers to pursue the subject in greater detail. The book is divided into two sections: "Fungal Interactions with the Host" and "Antifungal Antibiotics". The emphasis of the first section is focused on the two-way recognition systems that exist between the host and the fungus. Experts in fungal-host interactions discuss new initiatives for alternatives to drug therapy through the development of vaccines and passive antibody therapy. In the "Antifungal Antibiotics" section, new target development, molecular modelling, and drug resistance, both at the individual organism level, and in a biofilm, are featured. read more ...

Expert international authors critically review current topics and positively encourage readers to pursue the subject in greater detail.The book is divided into two sections: "Fungal Dimorphism and Pathogenicity" and "New Taxonomic Tools". The first section focuses on morphogenesis, the cell cycle, and the cell wall of human pathogens. These play a major role in elucidating fungal relationships, both with the environment and with the host. Experts in fungal structural biology contribute in-depth reviews on a variety of topics with a focus on molecular and biochemical analysis. The final chapter presents a review of how mathematical modelling is used to understand the building of three-dimensional cell structures in the morphogenetic process. The second section presents novel approaches to aid the understanding of strain variability, the significance of environmental and patient strains, and the relatedness of "uncultured" fungi. In addition the use of molecular tools forthe taxonomic classification of previously unclassifiable fungi is featured. read more ...
