Resistance to Echinocandins Complicates a Case of Candida albicans Bloodstream Infection: A Case Report

Invasive candidiasis is known to be one of the most common healthcare-associated complications and is caused by several Candida species. First-line drugs, particularly echinocandins, are effective, but there are increasing reports of resistance to these molecules, though rarely related to C. albican...
