The book explores Candida and candidiasis, and Aspergillus and aspergillosis, two significant fungal infectious diseases. In the first section, various aspects of Candida infection are covered. The book delves into the epidemiology of Candida infections, highlighting their prevalence and distribution. It thoroughly discusses diagnostics and pathogenesis of candidiasis, providing valuable insights into the identification, and understanding of the disease. Additionally, the book addresses the growing concern of drug resistance and provides an overview of current therapeutics for candidiasis. Chapters in the second section examine the epidemiology of Aspergillus infections, providing a comprehensive understanding of their occurrence and impact. It discusses the diagnostics and pathogenesis of aspergillosis, shedding light on the methods for accurate diagnosis and the mechanisms by which the infection develops. It explores the host-pathogen interaction and the role of biofilms in these infections. Furthermore, the book addresses the pressing issue of drug resistance in aspergillosis and presents an overview of therapeutic approaches available for managing the disease. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking in-depth knowledge of these fungal infectious diseases. Microbiology.
