Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fungal emergency

As is known, in the last decade many emerging infectious diseases have become evident that have affected the world population. Bacterial and viral infections stand out, however there are infections caused by various fungi that are today considered emerging pathogens. Among the emerging pathogenic fungi, we can mention the case of S. cerevisiae, a yeast that has been used since time immemorial, for example for the manufacture of bread or some fermented drinks. Thus, this work shows some important aspects in relation to S. cerevisiae as an emerging pathogenic fungus.
