Aspects of the Features of Challenges of Antifungal Resistance, Issues of Mycotoxicology, Mycoecology and Problems of Biological Safety in General

The article reviews key aspects related to Candida fungi, including their clinical significance, mechanisms of antifungal resistance, mycotoxicological risks, ecological prevalence, and biosafety challenges. Candida fungi are an important group of opportunistic pathogens that can cause a wide range of infections in immunocompromised hosts. Studying the mechanisms of Candida adaptation to various environments and their ability to form biofilms is important for understanding the pathogenesis and developing effective therapeutic strategies. In addition, antifungal resistance is becoming an increasingly pressing public health problem requiring new approaches in antimicrobial therapy. Studies of mycotoxicological aspects indicate the potential toxicity of some Candida metabolites and the need for their monitoring.
