Why are fungal infections difficult to treat compared to bacterial infections?

SouravSeptember 4, 2024

Answer

Fungal infections are difficult to treat because fungi are eukaryotic, similar to human cells, making it challenging to find drugs that selectively target fungi without affecting human cells. Additionally, fungi have complex cell walls and resistance mechanisms that complicate treatment.
