Concentrations above the MIC of caspofungin allow growth of some Candida isolates. A strain demonstrating paradoxical growth was grown in the presence and absence of caspofungin, and the cell wall content was analyzed. Beta-1,3-glucan declined 81% in the presence of caspofungin, as expected. Beta-1,6-glucan declined 73%. Chitin increased 898%, demonstrating a mechanism for paradoxical growth-a rapid shift in the key polymer.
卡泊芬净浓度高于最低抑菌浓度时,仍会有一些念珠菌分离株生长。一株表现出反常生长的菌株分别在有和没有卡泊芬净的情况下培养,然后分析其细胞壁成分。正如预期的那样,在卡泊芬净存在的情况下,β-1,3-葡聚糖下降了81%。β-1,6-葡聚糖下降了73%。几丁质增加了898%,这表明了反常生长的一种机制——关键聚合物的快速转变。
