Synergistic activity of caspofungin and posaconazole against Candida (Candidozyma) auris biofilms based on phenotypic, transcriptomic, and in vivo insights

Microbiology Spectrum
Candida (Candidozyma) auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen capable of establishing persistent skin colonization, contaminating the environment, and causing nosocomial outbreaks associated with high mortality rates.

Rapid emergence of FKS mutations in Candida glabrata isolates in a peritoneal candidiasis

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2017
We report a rapid acquisition of echinocandin resistance after 12 days of micafungin treatment, without prior exposure, in a patient with peritoneal candidiasis due to C. glabrata. Isolates recovered before and after treatment were compared by multilocus
