Pathogenic Yeasts

Pathogenic Yeasts edited by Ruth Ashbee, Elaine M. Bignell.

Mycological studies of yeasts are entering a new phase, with the sequencing of multiple fungal genomes informing our understanding of their ability to cause disease and interact with the host. At the same time, the ongoing use of traditional methods in many clinical mycology laboratories continues t...
