Candida glabrata Resistance to Echinocandins Associated with FKS Genes Mutations: How Urgent is the Problem? [PDF]
The resistance of the systemic Candida infections causative agents is a cornerstone of the selection of an effective therapy. But if before the problem was limited to resistance to azole antifungals, then by now we have enough data about cases of ...

Treatment of invasive candidiasis with echinocandins [PDF]
SummaryBlood stream infections by Candida spp. represent the majority of invasive fungal infections in intensive care patients. The high crude mortality of invasive candidiasis remained essentially unchanged during the last two decades despite new treatment options that became available.

Marine‐derived biosurfactants produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and yeast) have amphiphilic properties that facilitate membrane interactions and transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). These biosurfactants exhibit neuroprotective activity by targeting mechanisms implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including reducing ...

Review of the guidelines for the treatment and prevention of invasive candidiasis in newborns and children [PDF]
nvasive infections caused by Candida species are the most common invasive fungal infections in children of different age groups. Premature neonates, especially newborns with low and extremely low birth-weight, have very high mortality rates, with the ...

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

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 ...

The echinocandins, caspofugin, micafungin, and anidulafungin, are lipopeptides that inhibit fungal growth by binding to β - (1.3) d glucan synthase. This enzyme is responsible for the formation of the peptidoglycan cell wall, and it is essential in fungi such as Candida spp, but less important in the case of Aspergillus and Fusarium species.

ABSTRACT Background The black moulds comprising Aspergillus section Nigri are clinically important organisms causing aspergillosis and otomycosis; triazole (azole) antifungal agents represent the primary prophylaxis and treatment option for these infections.

ABSTRACT Background Immunocompromised children with hematologic malignancies or undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at high risk for invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). Reported incidence varies considerably due to heterogeneous diagnostic criteria, antifungal strategies and environmental conditions.
