Abstract
The occurrence of fungal infections has steadily escalated over the last two decades. This is due in large part to the fact that those immunocompromised by either disease or therapies are particularly at risk for such infections. Concurrently, there has been increased interest in defining those genes and gene products that contribute to pathogenesis of these organisms. Not only does analysis of such genes provide insight concerning the interaction of the fungal pathogen and its host, but determination of genes required for pathogenesis can also point to possible novel antifungal drug targets.
