Echinocandin Resistance in Candida [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2015
Invasive fungal infections are an important infection concern for patients with underlying immunosuppression. Antifungal therapy is a critical component of patient care, but therapeutic choices are limited due to few drug classes. Antifungal resistance, especially among Candida species, aggravates the problem.

Acrophiarin (antibiotic S31794/F-1) from Penicillium arenicola shares biosynthetic features with both Aspergillus- and Leotiomycete-type echinocandins.

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2020
The antifungal echinocandin lipopeptide, acrophiarin, was circumscribed in a patent in 1979. We confirmed that the producing strain NRRL 8095 is Penicillium arenicola and other strains of P.

Invasive Fungal Infections After Intestine Transplantation: Epidemiology and Outcomes

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) represent a major complication after intestine transplantation, with reported incidence rates between 40% and 49%. These infections are associated with high morbidity and allograft loss. This study evaluates the impact of post‐transplant IFIs on graft outcomes in intestine transplant recipients ...

Comparison of echinocandin antifungals

open access: yesTherapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2007
The incidence of invasive fungal infections, especially those due to Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp., continues to increase. Despite advances in medical practice, the associated mortality from these infections continues to be substantial. The echinocandin antifungals provide clinicians with another treatment option for serious fungal infections ...

Identification of Genes in Candida glabrata Conferring Altered Responses to Caspofungin, a Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitor

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Candida glabrata is an important human fungal pathogen whose incidence continues to rise. Because many clinical isolates are resistant to azole drugs, the drugs of choice to treat such infections are members of the echinocandin family, although there are

Echinocandins versus non-echinocandins for empirical antifungal therapy in patients with hematological disease with febrile neutropenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

open access: yesJournal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2020
Empirical antifungal therapy is recommended in high-risk patients who have persistent febrile neutropenia (FN) despite broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Based on high-quality evidence, most guidelines recommend caspofungin.
