Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....

Chinese yam tubers are nutrient-rich but highly susceptible to mechanical damage during harvest, which facilitates pathogenic fungal infection at wound sites. This study aimed to identify pathogenic fungi from postharvest yam wounds and screen native endophytic bacteria with antifungal activity f...

Rhamnolipids (RLs), glycolipids biosynthesized by the Pseudomonas and Burkholderia genera, are known to display various activities against a wide range of pathogens. Most previous studies on RLs focused on their direct antimicrobial activity, while only a few reports described t...
