OsKOL4 and OsKOL5, five-gene tandem arrays encoding members of the ent-kaurene oxidase family, play divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both act in the production of #antifungal and #antibacterial phytoalexins.

Systemic candidiasis is a severe, opportunistic #fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Recent research demonstrates that reprogramming the metabolic pathways of a host's immune cells offers a viable strategy to clear the infection, circumventing the need for traditional #antifungal medications.

This article doesn't mention the antifungal benefits of stomping grapes! Resveratrol, made in grape skins in response to fungal attack, can counter infections of a range of fungi (the phenolic content doesn't hurt either! :-)

A culprit of antibiotic resistance is the agricultural industry, through widespread use of antibiotics. Today, I discovered they also contribute to antifungal resistance.

Experts sound the alarm over #drugresistant #fungal infection detected in US

Story by Matthew Dooley, December 4, 2023

"Experts are sounding the alarm about a highly contagious #fungaldisease that's becoming resistant to common drugs. They warn this could make illnesses like #thrush much harder to treat.

"Medical professionals have warned that the world is not prepared for the growing threat of fungal infections.

"These can range from common conditions like #ringworm and thrush to life-threatening bloodstream infections caused by #CandidaAlbicans and #CandidaAuris.

"David Denning, a professor at the University of Manchester, previously spoke to The Mirror about a drug-resistant form of #ringworm. He explained how this fungus can easily spread in schools and homes.

"He said: 'Skin fungal infections are transmitted from one person to another in schools, homes and with intimate contact. This new #TerbinafineResistant fungus is a new species called #TrichophytonIndotineae and [was] first identified in India.

"Experts believe the rise in resistant fungi is due to overuse of over-the-counter #antifungal creams, misuse of #TopicalSteroid creams, incorrect prescription of antifungal drugs, as well as patients not sticking to prescribed courses of antifungal medication."
