Abstract
Candida dubliniensis commonly shows paradoxical or trailing growth effects in vitro in the presence of echinocandins. We tested the in vitro activities of anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin against clinical isolates of C. dubliniensis and evaluated the efficacy of these drugs in two murine models of systemic infection. The three echinocandins were similarly effective in the treatment of experimental disseminated infections with C. dubliniensis strains showing or not showing abnormal growth in vitro.Entities:
