ABSTRACT Background Invasive candidiasis (IC), life‐threatening fungal infections with high economic burden, are often treated first‐line with daily intravenous echinocandins. A new once weekly echinocandin, rezafungin, demonstrated statistically non‐inferior efficacy and numerically shorter intensive care unit (ICU) stay compared to caspofungin in ...

New Perspectives on Antimicrobial Agents: Rezafungin
ABSTRACT Candidemia and invasive candidiasis persist as significant causes of morbidity and mortality. As fluconazole resistance rates rise, alternative means of treatment are necessary, either via mold-active azoles or extended durations of echinocandins.

EUCAST Reference Testing of Rezafungin Susceptibility and Impact of Choice of Plastic Plates [PDF]
Rezafungin is a new long-acting echinocandin currently in phase 3 development. Epidemiological cutoff values are necessary for breakpoint setting but have not been established due to unexplained interlaboratory MIC variations observed in a prior multicenter study.

Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus calidoustus are relatively uncommon pathogens that could cause invasive disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a 61‐year‐old male with a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who was admitted to our hospital for a unilateral lung transplant that was performed without complications;

Antimicrobial resistance in Candida spp. is significant in individuals with HIV/AIDS infections, particularly in Iran. In this systematic review, a comprehensive systematic search was conducted to identify all the eligible studies between 1999 and 2024; the pooled resistance rates of Candida spp. against antimicrobial agents were estimated. The risk of
