1 For the most prevalent fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans, Hsp90 mediates resistance to azoles, which inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis and are the most widely deployed antifungals in the clinic. Azoles heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Combination therapy with Hsp90 inhibitors that are well tolerated in humans and an azole rescued larvae from lethal C. albicans infections. Azoles heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1 Homo sapiens
3 In a murine model of disseminated candidiasis, genetic compromise of C. albicans HSP90 expression enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of an azole. Azoles heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1 Homo sapiens
