Does DHN-Melanin Always Protect Fungi against Antifungal Drugs? The <i>Fonsecaea</i>/Micafungin Paradigm

Several human pathogenic fungi produce melanin. One of its properties during parasitism is the protection against antifungal drugs. This occurs with the agents of chromoblastomycosis, in which DHN-melanin reduces antifungal susceptibility to terbinafine and itraconazole. Since these agents are resis...
