Overview
A collection of state-of-the-art molecular methods for studying antifungal resistance, for discovering and evaluating both new and existing antifungal drugs, and for understanding the host response and immunotherapy of such agents. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Medicine™ series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Antifungal Agents: Methods and Protocols offers clinician-scientists, microbiologists and molecular biologists the productive tools they need today to understand and successfully develop new therapeutic agents for yeast, mold, and fungal infections.

Reviews
From the reviews: Due to the increased prevalence in systemic fungal infections worldwide, more knowledge is needed about antifungal drug testing and research is very important. This book, which is one in the series of `Methods in Molecular Medicine', describes both traditional and new techniques for the investigation of antifungal resistance and for the development and evaluation of new compounds. ... By and large, this is an interesting book for mycological researchers in both laboratory and clinical medicine. (Prof. Jan Faergemann, Acta Dermato-Venereologica, Vol. 86, August, 2006)
