Abstract
Methods of detecting inhibitors of fungal pathgenicity are disclosed. These methods are based on the discovery that pathogenicity is diminished when chitin synthase III is inhibited. The inhibitors of fungal pathogenicity are detected with mutant strains of,or other mutant fungal strains, whose mutation causes diminished growth of the fungus when combined with the inhibition of chitin synthase III.
