The terms discussed in this review—biosurfactants (BSs) and bioemulsifiers (BEs)—
describe surface-active molecules of microbial origin which are popular chemical entities for …

Infections caused by invasive fungal biofilms have been widely associated with high
morbidity and mortality rates, mainly due to the advent of antibiotic resistance. Moreover …

Candida albicans is considered an exclusive etiologic agent of candidiasis, a very common
fungal infection in human. The expression of virulence factors contributes highly to the …

Fungal infections cause severe and life-threatening complications especially in
immunocompromised individuals. Antifungals targeting cellular machinery and cell …

Global burden of fungal infections and related health risk has accelerated at an incredible
