FungalDiseaseAwarenessWeek #AntifungalResistance
Antifungal resistance occurs when fungi develop the ability to survive medicines designed to kill them or stop their growth. This can make fungal infections harder to treat, prolong illness, increase healthcare costs, and, in some cases, lead to severe disease.
