ABSTRACT Background Candidaemia remains a common, life‐threatening infection among intensive care unit (ICU) patients, with high mortality, particularly in patients with delayed diagnosis and treatment. Objectives This international, multicentre, prospective, observational study aimed to identify risk factors for candidaemia in ICU patients and to ...

Phenomenon of Dip Effect in Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Candida tropicalis by using MIC Testing Strips against Echinocandins [PDF]
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of an antifungal is the minimum concentration that completely inhibits the visible growth of fungi under regulated, uniform and consistent in-vitro conditions.

Central Nervous System Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
CNS infections in SOT recipients are rare and presentation can be subtle. Therefore, a low threshold for evaluation is warranted to minimize the associated mortality. ABSTRACT Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients face an increased risk of central nervous system (CNS) infections due to immunosuppression.

Activity of anidulafungin against Candida albicans isolated from clinical specimens
Infections caused by C. albicans are an important medical problem in people from risk groups, e.g. hospitalized patients. The aim of this paper was to analyse by the E-test procedure, the in vitro activity of anidulafungin against clinical isolates of C.

Pharmacokinetics of echinocandins in suspected candida peritonitis: A potential risk for resistance
Introduction: A possible increase in Candida resistance, especially in Candida glabrata, has been speculated according to poor diffusion of echinocandins to peritoneal fluid.

We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

Filter Adsorption of Anidulafungin to a Polysulfone-Based Hemofilter During CVVHD In Vitro [PDF]
Candidemia is frequent in critically ill patients, especially in combination with an acute kidney injury (AKI). Echinocandins generally are recommended for therapy of such infections.

ABSTRACT Therapeutic response in refractory invasive pulmonary aspergillosis may depend not only on antifungal class escalation, but also on formulation choice. In this complex pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) case, radiologic improvement followed combination therapy and switch to brand‐name liposomal amphotericin B, underscoring the importance ...
