Candida auris Bloodstream Infections in Russia
Candida auris—a fungus (yeast) that can cause hospital outbreaks was first recognized in 2009. The authors report data on 38 cases of C. auris bloodstream infections in multidisciplinary hospitals situated in two distantly located regions of Russia ...

ABSTRACT Background The efficacy and safety of rezafungin in invasive candidiasis (IC) and candidaemia was demonstrated in the Phase 2 STRIVE and Phase 3 ReSTORE trials, and an additional cohort of patients in ReSTORE from China (ReSTORE China). Objectives This post hoc analysis is the first time that combined data from all double‐blind, randomised ...

Current pharmacological concepts for wise use of echinocandins in the treatment of Candida infections in septic critically ill patients [PDF]
Candida infections represent challenging causes of severe sepsis and/or of septic shock in the critically ill patients. Knowledge of current pharmacological concepts may promote a more wise use of echinocandins in the management of Candida infections in ...

Empirical and targeted therapy of candidemia with fluconazole versus echinocandins: a propensity score-derived analysis of a population-based, multicentre prospective cohort [PDF]
We compared the clinical efficacy of fluconazole and echinocandins in the treatment of candidemia in real practice. The CANDIPOP study is a prospective, population-based cohort study on candidemia carried out between May 2010 and April 2011 in 29 Spanish

Species-specific and drug-specific differences in susceptibility of candida biofilms to echinocandins: Characterization of less common bloodstream isolates [PDF]
Candida species other than Candida albicans are increasingly recognized as causes of biofilm-associated infections. This is a comprehensive study that compared the in vitro activities of all three echinocandins against biofilms formed by different common

Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida Biofilms: Unique Efficacy of Amphotericin B Lipid Formulations and Echinocandins [PDF]
Biofilms, likely the predominant mode of device-related microbial infection, exhibit resistance to antimicrobial agents. Evidence suggests that Candida biofilms have dramatically reduced susceptibility to antifungal drugs.

Antifungal tolerance can promote the emergence of resistance yet often incurs fitness costs for fungal pathogens. How tolerant populations compensate for these deficits and how they may be therapeutically targeted remain poorly understood.

The activity of echinocandins, amphotericin B and voriconazole against fluconazole-susceptible and fluconazole-resistant Brazilian Candida glabrata isolates [PDF]
The extensive use of azole antifungal agents has promoted the resistance of Candida spp to these drugs. Candida glabrata is a problematic yeast because it presents a high degree of primary or secondary resistance to fluconazole. In Brazil, C.
