Deacylation of Echinocandin B by Streptomyces species: a novel method for the production of Echinocandin B nucleus

open access: yes3 Biotech, 2019
Anidulafungin, a new class of antifungal agent used for the treatment of chronic fungal infections, is derived from Echinocandin B nucleus, an intermediate metabolite of Echinocandin B produced by Aspergillus nidulans. The enzyme acylase plays a key role in the bioconversion of Echinocandin B to Echinocandin B nucleus.

Echinocandin persistence directly impacts the evolution of resistance and survival of the pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata

open access: yesmBio
Recent epidemiological studies documented an alarming increase in the prevalence of echinocandin-resistant (ECR) Candida glabrata blood isolates. ECR isolates are known to arise from a minor subpopulation of a clonal population, termed echinocandin ...

Tipping the balance both ways: drug resistance and virulence in Candida glabrata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Among existing fungal pathogens, Candida glabrata is outstanding in its capacity to rapidly develop resistance to currently used antifungal agents. Resistance to the class of azoles, which are still widely used agents, varies in proportion (from 5 to 20%)

Why do echinocandins fail? Identifying key predictors to improve clinical outcomes of candida bloodstream infections: a retrospective multicenter cohort study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases
Background: Echinocandins represent first-line therapy for Candida Bloodstream Infections (C-BSIs). Incidence of treatment failure (TF) remains high with unclear risk factors. Aim: to evaluate predictors of echinocandin TF for C-BSIs.
