Russian scientists create new antifungal drug
Russian scientists have developed a new drug with a high antifungal effect.
According to Izvestia, Russian specialists combined two together turned out to be very effective: they destroyed fungi even in small concentrations. Moreover, they demonstrated activity against pathogens that are resistant to the drugs available today.
They noted that mushrooms live in the human body from the moment of his birth to death. The immunity of a healthy person successfully suppresses them, not allowing them to grow. However, it is difficult to create an effective and non-toxic medicine that will only target fungi.
Pathogenic fungi mutate, acquiring resistance to already known drugs. Fungi are most dangerous for immunocompromised patients.
