Resistance to echinocandin-class antifungal drugs [PDF]
Invasive fungal infections cause morbidity and mortality in severely ill patients, and limited drug classes restrict treatment choices. The echinocandin drugs are the first new class of antifungal compounds that target the fungal cell wall by blocking beta-1,3-d-glucan synthase.

Candidemia surveillance in Iowa: emergence of echinocandin resistance
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2014We performed prospective surveillance for candidemia at 14 Iowa hospitals in 2011-2012. A total of 163 episodes were analyzed. Candida albicans (n = 69 [42%]) and Candida glabrata (n = 58 [36%]) were the most common species. Antifungal resistance was uncommon; 9% of C.

Echinocandin Resistance in Candida Species: a Review of Recent Developments
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2016The echinocandins are important agents for the treatment of invasive fungal infections, especially those caused by Candida species. However, as with other antimicrobial agents, microbiologic resistance to this class of antifungal agents has emerged and can result in clinical failure.
