The In Vitro Activity of Rezafungin Against Uncommon Species of Candida
ABSTRACT Background Invasive candidiasis (IC) is increasing due to the rising numbers of immunocompromised patients. Increasing azole resistance rates and daily dosing required for most echinocandins have complicated its treatment. The approval of rezafungin has provided an option for weekly echinocandin treatment.

Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis in Sousse Region, Tunisia [PDF]
Candida parapsilosis was recently reclassified into three distinct species, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the antifungal susceptibility of these species among clinical isolates previously identified by phenotypical methods as C. parapsilosis in the laboratory

Candidemia due to uncommon Candida species in children: new threat and impacts on outcomes
Many uncommon Candida spp. (species other than C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, and C. krusei) have been shown to emerge in tertiary care facilities. We aimed to investigate these uncommon candidemia in children.
