Could Fungal Pathogens Outsmart US? - This Week in Microbiology

Fungal kingdom frontiersman Dr. Arturo Casadevall, asks, What if Fungi Win? Michael Schmidt and Mark O. Martin discuss with Arturo, his new book and the beneficial roles of fungi along with their mischievous and deadly impacts and how committed experts are researching ways to save us and our food supplies.

18:14 Thank you for, among other things, talking about the need to read outside one's field. I'm a lab scientist in micro lab but love reading outside micro.

Wonderful! I've been reading a lot of Prof Casadevall's literature recently. It's nice to meet him, albeit over CZcams

Fungal pathogens are evolving rapidly, presenting a significant challenge to public health. With their ability to adapt and resist treatments, these pathogens could potentially outsmart our current medical defenses, highlighting the need for ongoing research and innovation in antifungal therapies. What strategies are researchers developing to stay ahead of evolving fungal pathogens, and how can we improve our preparedness to prevent these organisms from outsmarting current treatment methods?
