Abstract:
Apoptotic mechanism of Pathogenic fungi has become a focus of study due to the worsening situation of clinical drug resistance in fungi. Apoptosis of Pathogenic fungi is a complicated network involving many pathways, regulators and effectors. Besides, it is closely related to the autophagy, mitochondrial apoptotic pathways, and changes of endogenous and exogenous factors. As a new target of antifungal agent, apoptotic pathways are of great clinical importance. This paper reviews the apoptotic pathways of Pathogenic fungi.
