Abstract A worldwide health concern, fungal infections impact more than one billion people annually, and their occurrence is steadily rising due to environmental changes, an increase in impaired populations, and antifungal resistance. Because of their high rates of resistance and death, fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus, albicans Candida, Candida auris, & Cryptococcus neoformans, for example, have been designated as important priority by the WHO. The four medication classes used in current antifungal therapies—polyenes, azoles, echinocandins, and flucytosine—are hampered by toxicity as well as resistance, and their molecular targets are restricted since the eukaryotic state of the fungal infections is so like that of the host. The creation of vaccinations that target certain common antigens, such as β-1,3-glucan, immunotherapeutics, which includes the utilization of monoclonal antibodies, like mAb 2G8 as well as efungumab, and novel drug discoveries are some of the potential strategies. By identifying factors affecting virulence and metabolic pathways as potential targets for intervention, omics techniques (genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) are revolutionizing fungal research. However, host diversity and fungal immune evasion further complicate the vaccine development process. Potential creation of antifungal chemicals from medicinal plants and marine species is also being investigated. Multidisciplinary action is required to develop safe and efficient treatments for high-risk groups, support diagnostics, and launch an attack against resistance mechanisms.
