Solid‐state NMR combined with principal component analysis enables quantitative classification of fungal α‐ and β‐glucan architectures in intact cell walls, revealing conserved triple‐helical β‐1,3‐glucan conformations across species and predominantly bundled‐sheet α‐1,3‐glucan assemblies with condition‐dependent polymorphism. Statistical clustering of

Echinocandins for the Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis: from Laboratory to Bedside.
Echinocandins (caspofungin, micafungin, anidulafungin), targeting β-1,3-glucan synthesis of the cell wall, represent one of the three currently available antifungal drug classes for the treatment of invasive fungal infections.

Comparison of echinocandin antifungals
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 ...

Pharmacotherapy of Candida Infections with Echinocandins
The classic recommended antifungal agents for the treatment of invasive Candida infections were amphotericin B, a lipid formulation of amphotericin B and fluconazole in both neutropenic or nonneutropenic patients as either primary or alternative ...

Breakthrough invasive fungal infections in liver transplant recipients exposed to prophylaxis with echinocandins vs other antifungal agents: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Introduction: Although echinocandins are recommended as first-line prophylaxis for high-risk orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients, occurrence of breakthrough-invasive fungal infections (IFIs) remains a serious concern.
