    GlossaryAntifungal Activity

    ability to inhibit or kill fungal organisms

    Antifungal activity refers to the ability of a substance to inhibit the growth of or kill fungi, which are microorganisms that can cause infections in humans, animals, and plants. This is particularly important in treating conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, and certain types of dandruff, which are caused by fungal infections. For professionals, understanding the specific mechanisms, such as disrupting the fungal cell membrane or interfering with cell division, is crucial for developing effective treatments.
