The need for better antifungal therapy is commonly accepted in view of the high mortality
rates associated with systemic infections, the low number of available antifungal classes …

Paracoccidioides lutzii, formerly known as 'Pb01-like'strains in the P. brasiliensis complex, is
proposed as a new species based on phylogenetic and comparative genomics data …

The signature feature of systemic dimorphic fungi–a family of six primary fungal pathogens

Four types of antifungal drugs are available that include inhibitors of ergosterol synthesis, of
fungal RNA biosynthesis, and of cell wall biosynthesis as well as physiochemical regulators …

Most dimorphic fungal pathogens cause respiratory disease in mammals and must therefore
possess virulence mechanisms to combat and overcome host pulmonary defenses. Over the …
