Identification and evaluation of novel drug targets against the human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus with elaboration on the possible role of RNA-binding protein

ABSTRACT

Bakground Aspergillus fumigatus is an airborne opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. Although the current anti-fungal therapies are relatively efficient, some issues such as drug toxicity, drug interactions, and the emergence of drug-resistant fungi have promoted the intense research toward finding the novel drug targets
