Project description:Aspergillus terreus is an emerging fungal pathogen in immunocompromised patients. Due to intrinsic resistance of AmB against A. terreus and acquiring resistance to azoles, alternative antifungal strategy needs investigation. Thus, we explored the activity of phytochemicals such as Shikonin, gallic acid, coumaric acid and quercetin against A. terreus. Amongst these, shikonin showed significant inhibition at MIC50;2 µg/ml, considered for proteome profiling.
