Resistance to Echinocandins Complicates a Case of Candida albicans Bloodstream Infection: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Invasive candidiasis is known to be one of the most common healthcare-associated complications and is caused by several Candida species. First-line drugs, particularly echinocandins, are effective, but there are increasing reports of resistance to these ...

WC1/WC2–Sre1 Transcriptional Cascade Controls Predation and Chlamydospore Formation in the Nematode‐Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Systematic functional characterization of all eight GATA‐type transcription factors in the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans reveals a novel, light‐independent WC1/WC2–Sre1 transcriptional cascade that orchestrates both trap formation and chlamydospore development, providing actionable targets for engineering superior biocontrol strains ...

Integrated Genomic and Phenotypic Analyses Reveal Convergent Resistance Patterns in Clinical Candida tropicalis Isolates

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The incidence of Candida tropicalis isolation is increasing in hospital settings. High azole resistance and mortality rates make it a pathogen that requires further analysis. Methods Fourteen azole resistant Candida glabrata clinical isolates were collected from a Lebanese hospital and analysed through whole genome sequencing for ...

Decreased echinocandin susceptibility in Candida parapsilosis causing candidemia and emergence of a pan-echinocandin resistant case in China

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Candida parapsilosis is becoming a predominant non-albicans cause of invasive candidiasis (IC). Echinocandins are the preferred choice for IC treatment and prophylaxis. Resistance to echinocandins in C.

The Epidemiology and Infection Control of Candida Auris in Shanghai

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Candida auris is a globally emerging multidrug‐resistant fungus. Its dissemination is driven by patient movement and asymptomatic carriers. However, molecular epidemiological studies linking imported cases to local strains in large metropolitan areas remain limited.

Successful Management of Candida auris Bloodstream Infection in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Candida auris is an emerging multidrug‐resistant pathogen frequently misidentified by conventional methods, posing diagnostic and infection‐control challenges, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. We report a 74‐year‐old male in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with multiple comorbidities who developed Candidemia.

Two echinocandin-resistant Candida glabrata FKS mutants from South Africa

open access: yesMedical Mycology Case Reports, 2016
Echinocandins are recommended as first-line agents to treat invasive infections caused by Candida glabrata since this organism is inherently less susceptible to azoles. However, resistance to echinocandins has been described in C.
