The Mechanisms of Resistance to Echinocandin Class of Antifungal Drugs

open access: yesNippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2009
The echinocandin (candin) class of antifungal drugs inhibit beta-1,3-glucan synthase and block synthesis of beta-1,3-glucan , an important polysaccharide in fungal cell walls. Candins are used widely for treatment of systemic infections caused by Candida and Aspergillus because of their high potency and low toxicity to humans.
