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.

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

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.
