Ionic liquids as a versatile tool to study antimicrobial strategies of and against filamentous fungi

Abstract

"Life threatening microbial infections caused by pathogenic bacteria or fungi are becoming an increasing concern for our society, due to the increasing appearance of antimicrobial (multi-)resistant strains and the lack of appropriate treatment options. In the case of fungal infections, Aspergillus spp. can lead to severe invasive infections with Aspergillus fumigatus being the main cause, especially in severely immunocompromised patients."
