Relative Frequency of Paradoxical Growth and Trailing Effect with Caspofungin, Micafungin, Anidulafungin, and the Novel Echinocandin Rezafungin against Candida Species

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Rezafungin is a next-generation echinocandin that has favorable pharmacokinetic properties. We compared the occurrence of paradoxical growth (PG) and trailing effect (TE) characteristics to echinocadins with rezafungin, caspofungin, micafungin and ...

Anidulafungin Treatment Blocks the Sexual Cycle of Pneumocystis murina and Prevents Growth and Survival without Rescue by an Alternative Mode of Replication

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The proposed life cycle of fungi in the genus Pneumocystis has typically included both an asexual cycle via binary fission and a sexual cycle. Until recently, the strategy used for sexual replication was largely unknown, but genomic and functional assays

The Epidemiology and Infection Control of Candida Auris in Shanghai. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Candida auris is a globally emerging multidrug‐resistant fungus. Its dissemination is driven by patient movement and asymptomatic carriers. However, molecular epidemiological studies linking imported cases to local strains in large metropolitan areas remain limited.
