The comparative efficacy of caspofungin compared with anidulafungin in the treatment of IC has not been reported. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and microbiological outcomes of caspofungin and anidulafungin in the treatment of IC in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Retrospective, multicentre, cohort study of patients aged ≥18 years with microbiologically proved IC who received systemic caspofungin or anidulafungin for ≥ 5 days. Patients who received systemic amphotericin B or micafungin within the preceding 14 days were excluded. The primary endpoint was mortality at the end of IV antifungal therapy. Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS for Windows. Results: A total of 123 patients were included, 111 patients in the caspofungin group and 21 in the anidulafungin group. Significantly more patients with diabetes mellitus received anidulafungin while more patient on immunosuppressive therapy were in the caspofungin arm. There were no other significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (Table 1). The median duration of therapy was 18 days for caspofungin and 19 days for anidulafungin group (p 0.23). Mortality at the end of antifungal therapy was observed in 41 (36.9%) in the caspofungin group compared with 11 (55%) in the anidulafungin group (P 0.23). In multivariate regression analysis, two variables were independently associated with the primary endpoint: transplant recipient status (odds ratio 3.07, 95% confidence interval 1.02 - 9.25) and candida species (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.71 - 0.99). Conclusions: Morality at the end of antifungal therapy was not statistically different in patients with IC who received caspofungin or anidulafungin. Adequately powered randomized trials are required to confirm these findings. .

Box 24923, Safat 13110, Kuwait; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +965-2463-6503 Abstract: Candida auris, a recently recognized, often multidrug-resistant yeast, has become a sig- nificant fungal pathogen due to its ability to cause invasive infections and outbreaks in healthcare facilities which have been difficult to control and treat. The extraordinary abilities of C. auris to easily contaminate the environment around colonized patients and persist for long periods have recently re- sulted in major outbreaks in many countries. C. auris resists elimination by robust cleaning and other decontamination procedures, likely due to the formation of ‘dry’ biofilms. Susceptible hospitalized patients, particularly those with multiple comorbidities in intensive care settings, acquire C. auris rather easily from close contact with C. auris-infected patients, their environment, or the equipment used on colonized patients, often with fatal consequences. This review highlights the lessons learned from recent studies on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, susceptibility, and molecular basis of resistance to antifungal drugs and infection control measures to combat the spread of C. auris Citation: Ahmad, S.; Alfouzan, W. Candida auris: Epidemiology, infections in healthcare facilities. Particular emphasis is given to interventions aiming to prevent new Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, Antifungal infections in healthcare facilities, including the screening of susceptible patients for colonization; the Susceptibility, and Infection Control cleaning and decontamination of the environment, equipment, and colonized patients; and successful Measures to Combat the Spread of approaches to identify and treat infected patients, particularly during outbreaks.

Ambrose1* 1Institute for Clinical Pharmacodynamics (ICPD), Schenectady, NY, USA; 2University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA *Corresponding author.

Tel: !1-518-631-8101; Fax: !1-518-631-8199; E-mail: [email protected] First-line antifungal therapies are limited to azoles, polyenes and echinocandins, the former two of which are associated with high occurrences of severe treatment-emergent adverse events or frequent drug interactions. Among antifungals, echinocandins present a unique value proposition given their lower rates of toxic events as compared with azoles and polyenes. However, with the emergence of echinocandin-resistant Candida species and the fact that a pharmacometric approach to the development of anti-infective agents was not a main- stream practice at the time these agents were developed, we question whether echinocandins are being dosed optimally. This review presents pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) evaluations for approved echino- candins (anidulafungin, caspofungin and micafungin) and rezafungin (previously CD101), an investigational agent. PK/PD-optimized regimens were evaluated to extend the utility of approved echinocandins when treating patients with resistant isolates. Although the benefits of these regimens were apparent, it was also clear that anidulafungin and micafungin, regardless of dosing adjustments, are unlikely to provide therapeutic exposures sufficient to treat highly resistant isolates. Day 1 probabilities of PK/PD target attainment of 5.2% and 85.1%, respectively, were achieved at the C.

Recent Findings Natamycin (Natacyn® eye drops) remains the only approved medication in the management of ocular fungal infections. This monotherapy shows therapeutic outcomes in superficial ocular fungal infections, but in case of deep-seated mycoses or endophthalmitis, successful therapeutic outcomes are infrequent, as a result of which alternative therapies are sought. In such cases, amphotericin B, azoles, and echinocandins are used off-label, either in combination with natamycin or with each other (frequently) or as standalone monotherapies, and have provided effective therapeutic outcomes. Summary In recent times, amphotericin B, azoles, and echinocandins have come to occupy an important niche in ocular antifungal pharmacotherapy, along with natamycin (still the preferred choice in most clinical cases), in the management of ocular fungal infections.

The public health concern when dealing with this pathogen is mainly due to reduced susceptibility to current antifungal drugs. A valuable alternative to overcome this problem is to investigate the efficacy of combination therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro interactions of isavuconazole with echinocandins against C. auris. Interactions were determined using a checkerboard method, and absorbance data were analyzed with different approaches: the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI), Greco universal response surface approach, and Bliss interaction model. All models were in accordance and showed that combinations of isavu- conazole with echinocandins resulted in an overall synergistic interaction.
