Antifungal Natural Products Originating from Endophytic and Rhizospheric Microbes Isolated from Coastal Vegetation.

ABSTRACT: Candida infections severely impact patients who are immunocompromised. Currently, there are limited options to treat fungal infections, especially drug-resistant-fungal infections. Therefore, investigating alternative or repurposed antifungals is paramount. Endophytic microbes (EMs) and rhizospheric microbes (RMs) emerge as promising reservoirs of bioactive natural compounds. Interestingly, plants that have adapted to various environmental conditions harbour a plethora of microbes producing a variety of bioactive natural products that can be assessed for potential antifungal activity. To date, EMs and RMs residing in coastal plants and their associated antifungals have not been extensively studied or reviewed. Therefore, this comprehensive review will focus on antifungal natural pro
