A host defense peptide mimetic, brilacidin, potentiates caspofungin antifungal activity against human pathogenic fungi

Fungal infections cause more than 1.5 million deaths a year. Due to emerging antifungal drug resistance, novel strategies are urgently needed to combat life-threatening fungal diseases. Here, we identify the host defense peptide mimetic, brilacidin (BRI) as a synergizer with caspofungin (CAS) agains...
