- W1486361715 abstract "The most common agents of fungal infections include Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus, since these are ubiquitous and commensal fungal colonizers. This chapter focuses on the treatment of these three important fungal diseases, with an emphasis on Candida. However, the effectiveness of these therapies against other fungal infections also needs to be considered. Currently available antifungal drugs can be grouped into four main categories-polyenes, nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors, ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors (EBI), and echinocandins. The polyenes are a class of compounds with an amphipathic nature. The echinocandin caspofungin has only recently become clinically available, and so the number of strains with caspofungin resistance, with or without cross-resistance to other echinocandins, is limited. The chapter summarizes the current knowledge about the regulation of resistance in C. albicans sand in other yeast species. In addition to the antifungal drug resistance function of CaMDR1, the other genes have oxidoreductive functions (GRP2 and IFD5) or are potentially involved in pyridoxine (vitamin B6) synthesis (IPF5987 and SNZ1). One of the most important host factors in treating a fungal infection is the patient’s compliance with the drug regimen. Resistance to antifungal drugs has been observed with the azoles and with 5FC. The molecular mechanisms of resistance of C. albicans to azole drugs, including alterations in the target enzyme and in drug efflux pumps, have been well defined." @default.
