Paradoxical effect of Echinocandins across Candida species in vitro: evidence for echinocandin-specific and candida species-related differences.

Georgios Chamilos1, Russell E Lewis, Nathaniel Albert, Dimitrios P Kontoyiannis.   

Abstract

Paradoxical growth of some Candida isolates occurs at concentrations above the MIC for echinocandins. In 60 Candida bloodstream isolates from cancer patients (20 C. albicans isolates and 10 isolates each of C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, and C. glabrata), paradoxical growth was more frequent with caspofungin than micafungin or anidulafungin, was unrelated to MIC, and was strikingly absent in C. glabrata isolates.
