Lactoferricin Research for Fungal Infections
An evidence-based overview of research examining Lactoferricin in the context of fungal infections. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.
Research Summary
Preclinical studies demonstrate antifungal activity against Candida species and other fungi. Lupetti et al. (2008) showed efficacy in a mouse candidiasis model. The mechanism involves direct membrane disruption similar to antibacterial action. No human clinical trials have been conducted.
