Candida infections, causes, targets and resistance mechanisms. Traditional and alternative antifungal agents [PDF]
The genus Candida includes about 200 different species, but only a few species are human opportunistic pathogens and cause infections when the host becomes debilitated or immunocompromised. Candida infections can be superficial or invasive.

Clinical Outcomes of Intra‐Abdominal Candidiasis by Initial Antifungal Therapy
ABSTRACT Background Intra‐abdominal candidiasis (IAC) is a severe and heterogeneous infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Objectives To evaluate outcomes of IAC according to initial antifungal therapy and to identify predictors of persistent infection and 30‐day mortality.

Histone deacetylase inhibition as an alternative strategy against invasive aspergillosis. [PDF]
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening infection due to Aspergillus fumigatus and other Aspergillus spp. Drugs targeting the fungal cell membrane (triazoles, amphotericin B) or cell wall (echinocandins) are currently the sole therapeutic ...

ABSTRACT Background Fluconazole‐resistant Candida parapsilosis is a matter of concern. Objectives To investigate fluconazole resistance among Candida parapsilosis complex isolates from patients admitted to three Brazilian hospitals, and to characterise resistance mechanisms and clonal relatedness. Patients/Methods A total of 76 C.

ABSTRACT Background Candida species are common causes of nosocomial infections. Candida parapsilosis has emerged as an important pathogen. Mortality rates associated with invasive C. parapsilosis infections range from 14.5% to 47%, with azole resistance estimated between 4% and 15%.

Acquired resistance to echinocandins in Candida albicans: case report and review [PDF]
A patient with Candida albicans thrush and oesophagitis was treated with high doses of caspofungin but treatment eventually failed. Four C. albicans isolates were serially recovered before and after caspofungin treatment. A microbiological study was performed to characterize these four isolates.In vitro antifungal susceptibility testing was performed ...
