Clinical failure associated with reduced susceptibility to caspofungin has been described in Candida albicans and C. parapsilosis. We report a case of Candida krusei infection that progressed despite caspofungin therapy. Reduced microbial susceptibility to all three echinocandins (caspofungin, anidulafungin, and micafungin) was noted but was not associated with mutations in FKS1.
白色念珠菌和近平滑念珠菌中已出现与对卡泊芬净敏感性降低相关的临床治疗失败情况。我们报告了1例克鲁斯念珠菌感染病例,尽管接受了卡泊芬净治疗,但感染仍持续进展。研究发现该微生物对所有三种棘白菌素(卡泊芬净、阿尼芬净和米卡芬净)的敏感性均降低,但这与FKS1基因突变无关。
