ABSTRACT Although fungi have been important model organisms for solving genetic, molecular, and ecological problems, recently, they are also becoming an source of infectious disease. Despite their high medical burden, fungal pathogens understudied, relative to other pathogenic microbes, less is known about how gene functions contribute This due, in part, a lack powerful genetic tools study these organisms. In turn, this has resulted inappropriate treatments diagnostics poor disease management. There variety reasons studies were challenging fungi, but recent years, most them overcome or advances made circumvent barriers. minireview, we highlight the discovery biology potential new antifungals created comprehensively pathogens.
