Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first volume of the Special Issue “Research on the Pathogenesis of Candida albicans and Other Candida Species” was published in 2022. It was a successful Issue with five published papers and has encouraged us to open a second volume with the same topic.
As a continuation of the Special Issue published in 2022, this second volume aims to update the current knowledge of the pathogenesis of Aspergillus and Candida species in patients with fungal infection and the rise of new multidrug-resistant fungi, the fungal cell wall, and new antifungal drugs. Topics may include but are not limited to:
- Aspergillosis
- Mold
- Aspergillus fumigatus
- Fungal skin infection
- Malassezia
- dermatitis
- Candida albicans
- Candida glabrata
- Candida auris
- Candida species
- multidrug-resistant fungi
- anti-fungal drugs
- candidiasis
- immune response
- intestinal inflammation, gut microbiota
- anti-yeast glycan antibodies
- fungal cell wall
- chitin
- β-glucans
- mannans
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Antibiotics.
