title: Novel antifungal drugs.
abstract: There have been many new developments in antifungal therapy in the past few years. Some antifungal drugs have been reformulated to reduce toxicity (e.g. new lipid formulations of polyenes), and new derivatives of drugs have been developed to enhance potencies. The search for unique drug targets will be enhanced by the availability of sequencing data from whole genome sequencing projects.
