Impact of Fungal Pathogens

Infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi remain a leading cause of death worldwide.

Fungi alone are responsible for an estimated two million life-threatening infections globally each year.

The lack of diagnostic tools for accurate identification and differentiation of these pathogens results in the incorrect use of antimicrobial drugs and the emergence of resistance to antibiotics and antifungals.

ISCA Diagnostics is focused on the development and delivery of highly specific and selective reagents and test systems for research and detection of pathogenic and allergenic fungi, and their allergens and enzymes.
