Candidiasis is a major fungal infection worldwide, with invasive forms linked to high morbidity and mortality. The emergence of azole resistance in Candida parapsilosis causing candidemia led us to examine the epidemiology and antifungal susceptibili...

Malaria remains a public health issue across the world. Different methods have been analyzed to achieve this disease’s elimination, such as the vector control of Anopheles spp. Control strategies include the use of different classes of insectic...

Cordyceps militaris, a model species in the genus Cordyceps, is widely distributed globally and is known for its significant medicinal value. It has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to enhance immunity, alleviate fatigue, and treat tumors,...

Fusariosis is an infection caused by the fungus Fusarium spp., which is pathogenic to both plants and humans. The disease presents several clinical manifestations and epidemiological patterns. Current treatment relies on azoles and polyenes, but incr...

Background: Histoplasma capsulatum is an environmentally acquired dimorphic fungus. Infection results in histoplasmosis, a clinical syndrome often underdiagnosed and that may progress to life-threatening disseminated infection not only in immuno...

Mycelium-based composites (MBCs) have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives, utilizing fungal mycelium as a natural binder for agro-industrial residues. This study focuses on developing an MBC based on abundant waste in Colombia, pith Arboloco (A) (Mo...

Mangrove-associated fungi represent a diverse but understudied group of eukaryotic organisms, especially in the Neotropics. The Colombian Pacific region, with approximately 1300 km of coastline covered with 194,880 ha of mangrove forests that remain...

Microbial decomposition of persistent natural compounds such as phenolic lignin and polysaccharides in plant cell walls plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and underpins diverse biotechnological applications. Among microbial decomposers,...

Trichoderma spp. produce diverse secondary metabolites with biological activity. This study explored the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties of metabolites from two native Trichoderma strains, 10BR1 and UEPA AR12, isolat...

(1) Background: Invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening fungal infection, particularly in patients with hematologic malignancies. Isavuconazole, a broad-spectrum triazole, has emerged as a key treatment option, but real-world data in high-risk p...
