What is a Fungus ?
• Eukaryotic – a true nucleus
• Do not contain chlorophyll
• Have cell walls
• Produce filamentous structures
• Produce spores

Actinomyces(True Bacteria)
• Tradition• Clinical infection resembles mycoses• Actinomyces grow on mycotic media• Actinomyces grow slowly (24-48 h)• Gross colonies resemble fungi
– (rough,heaped, short aerial filaments)
• Resemble mycelia microscopically, with branched mycelia in tissue and smears.

THERAPY
Because they are eukaryotic, fungi are biochemically similar to the human host. Therefore it is difficult to develop chemotherapeutic agents that will destroy the invading fungus without harming the patient.

IN FUNGAL THERAPY
We attempt to induce cell injury by causing the cell membrane of the fungus to become permeable.

PRIMARY ANTI-FUNGAL AGENTS
1. Polyene derivatives– Amphotericin B
– Nystatin
2. Azoles– Ketoconazole
– Fluconazole
– Itraconazole
– Voriconazole
– Posaconazole

AMPHOTERICIN BMechanism of Action
• Amphotericin B binds to sterols
• Ergosterol is a constituent of the fungal cell wall
• AMB has a greater avidity for ergosterol than for the cholesterol in the human cell wall
• Binding to the fungal cell wall alters the permeability and the intracellular contents leak
