Fungal infections of the central nervous system: A review of fungal pathogens and treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Multiple factors influence the outcome of fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS). The host and the pathogen in concert with drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier and drug activity are key factors in outcome.

Echinocandin resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2014
Echinocandin resistance in Candida is a great concern, as the echinocandin drugs are recommended as first-line therapy for patients with invasive candidiasis. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, methods for detection and clinical implications.Echinocandin resistance has emerged over the ...

Antifungal Drugs

open access: yesMetabolites, 2020
We reviewed the licensed antifungal drugs and summarized their mechanisms of action, pharmacological profiles, and susceptibility to specific fungi. Approved antimycotics inhibit 1,3-β-d-glucan synthase, lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, protein ...

In Vitro Characterization of Twenty-One Antifungal Combinations against Echinocandin-Resistant and -Susceptible Candida glabrata

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
This study was designed to analyze the interaction of 21 antifungal combinations consisting of seven major antifungal agents against 11 echinocandin- susceptible and six-resistant C. glabrata isolates. The combinations were divided into five major groups

Fungal biofilm resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment, as antifungal therapy often fails and surgical intervention is required ...

Fluorescent Probes Derived from the Polyene Class of Antifungal Drugs Reveal Distinct Localization Patterns and Resistance‐Associated Vacuolar Sequestration in Candida Species

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Fluorescent probes derived from all three clinically used polyene antifungals (amphotericin B, nystatin, and natamycin) enabled direct visualization of distribution in yeast cells of various Candida species. While retaining the ergosterol‐dependent mode of action of their parent drugs, the probes revealed distinct, structure‐specific localization ...

Functional Genomic Screening Reveals Core Modulators of Echinocandin Stress Responses in Candida albicans

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Candida albicans is a leading cause of death due to fungal infection. Treatment of systemic candidiasis often relies on echinocandins, which disrupt cell wall synthesis. Resistance is readily acquired via mutations in the drug target gene, FKS1.

The Elevated Endogenous Reactive Oxygen Species Contribute to the Sensitivity of the Amphotericin B-Resistant Isolate of Aspergillus flavus to Triazoles and Echinocandins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Aspergillus flavus has been frequently reported as the second cause of invasive aspergillosis (IA), as well as the leading cause in certain tropical countries.

Deletion of AIF1 but not of YCA1/MCA1 protects Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans cells from caspofungin-induced programmed cell death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Caspofungin was the first member of a new class of antifungals called echinocandins to be approved by a drug regulatory authority. Like the other echinocandins, caspofungin blocks the synthesis of β(1,3)-D-glucan of the fungal cell wall by inhibiting the
