Caspofungin Induced Cell Wall Changes of Candida Species Influences Macrophage Interactions

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Candida species are known to differ in their ability to cause infection and have been shown to display varied susceptibilities to antifungal drugs. Treatment with the echinocandin, caspofungin, leads to compensatory alterations in the fungal cell wall ...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Caspofungin and Dosing Optimization in Children With Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Caspofungin is the first echinocandin antifungal agent that licented for pediatric use in invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis. In this study, we evaluated the population pharmacokinetics of caspofungin and investigate appropriate dosing optimization ...

Susceptibility to caspofungin is regulated by temperature and is dependent on calcineurin in Candida albicans

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Candida albicans is a prevalent opportunistic human fungal pathogen. Echinocandins are first-line drugs for the treatment of invasive candidiasis. Molecular mechanisms of resistance to echinocandins have been extensively studied; however, the effect of ...

Management of a case of Candida albicans endogenous endophthalmitis with intravitreal caspofungin

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
We report a case of Candida albicans endogenous endophthalmitis treated with intravitreal caspofungin. The patient was a known case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia on chemotherapy and presented to us with features suggestive of endogenous endophthalmitis.

Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]

, 2018
We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates

Network Modeling Reveals Cross Talk of MAP Kinases during Adaptation to Caspofungin Stress in Aspergillus fumigatus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are highly conserved in eukaryotic organisms. In pathogenic fungi, their activities were assigned to different physiological functions including drug adaptation and resistance.
