Deaths from fungal infections have doubled worldwide - one of them we encounter in everyday life. Two deadly pathogens in particular, Candida auris and Aspergillus, play a major role.
There is a worldwide lack of diagnostic tests to detect the infections. In addition, many people are not even aware of the daily danger posed by fungi. Vaccines are already being researched and developed by specialist teams in the USA. These could significantly reduce the number of serious illnesses and deaths in the future.
