The burden of fungal infections on human health is increasing worldwide due to host toxicity, pathogen resistance, and immunodeficiency. In recent years, nanomaterials have been proven to be more effective as antifungal therapeutic agents and can overcome resistance against fungal medication.
The burden of fungal infections on human health is increasing worldwide. Aspergillus, Candida, and Cryptococcus are the top three human pathogenic fungi that are responsible for over 90% of infection-related deaths. Moreover, effective antifungal therapeutics are lacking, primarily due to host toxicity, pathogen resistance, and immunodeficiency. In recent years, nanomaterials have proved not only to be more efficient antifungal therapeutic agents but also to overcome resistance against fungal medication. This review will examine the limitations of standard antifungal therapy as well as focus on the development of nanomaterials.
