This fungus is resistant to drugs and wins both antifungal drugs.

This is the conclusion of a joint study conducted by Royal College of London and Exeter University scientists, just published in the journal Science.

According to experts, this fungus can become a " resistant" drug and win over antifungal drugs, which are often abused in the medical and agricultural industries.

At the same time, scientists point out that humans are currently underestimating the dangers of fungi, and that only this new type of "virus" will sooner us. Therefore, experts call for the development of pharmaceuticals that can withstand this threat.

The researchers also confirmed that infections of fungal origin cause more deaths than diseases and. Also according to their data, the death rate from fungal diseases is comparable to that of tuberculosis and AIDS.
