The prophylaxis with antifungals is now broader used in specic groups of patients. Therefore, it is not surprising the emergence of antifungal resistance. In the follow- ing chapter this issue will be discussed, raising awareness to possible sources as well as modes of transmission of resistant isolates in specic environmental settings.engResistanceAntifungalsFungiCandidaAspergillusInfecções Sistémicas e Zoonosesbook part10.1007/978-3-319-61688-9
