Paradoxical effect to caspofungin inCandidaspecies does not confer survival advantage in aDrosophilamodel of candidiasis

Régis Adriel Zanette, Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis

Abstract

The paradoxical growth (PG) to echinocandins has been observed in vitro in Candida and Aspergillus species.1 Its mechanisms are incompletely understood, although activation of calcineurin and chiti...
