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]
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.
