Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Sherris Medical Microbiology, 7e AB - OverviewCompared with antibacterial agents, relatively few antimicrobials are available for treatment of fungal infections.

Newer antifungal agents target fungal-specific cellular features and demonstrate lower toxicity than older drug classes.
