    Abstract The 11th Focus on Fungal Infections meeting was held in Washington, D.C., U.S.A., March 1416, 2001. At the conference, there were well-attended sessions that focused on the pathogenesis and therapy of fungal disease. This report focuses on new information on fungal incidence and pathogenesis as well as on the in vitro and clinical experience of established antifungal drugs (fluconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, liposomal formulations of amphotericin B, terbinafine) and the newer antifungal compounds approved for use (e.g., caspofungin) and in development (the new-generation azoles: voriconazole, posaconazole, ravuconazole, and the candins, micafungin and anidulafungin).

    Abstract The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases sponsored the 10th European Congress on Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in Stockholm, Sweden, May 28-31, 2000. At the ECMID, well-attended sessions were held which focused on the pathogenesis and therapy of viral, bacterial and fungal diseases. This report focuses on new information on resistance to antibacterial agents, including data from recent surveillance studies, and the in vitro and investigational clinical activity of new antibacterial (moxifloxacin, telithromycin) and antifungal (fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B, liposomal formulations of amphotericin B, terbinafine and the candins) drugs.

    Abstract The American Society for Microbiology sponsored the 38th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), a premier annual scientific conference, in San Diego, California, September 24-27, 1998. At the ICAAC several sessions were held which focused on the pathogenesis of fungal disease, the in vitro susceptibility testing of new azole (voriconazole, Syn-2869, SCH-56592, carbendazim), echinocandin-like (FK-463, LY-303366, MK-0991), polyene (patricins) and established antifungal agents (fluconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, nystatin, terbinafine), the experimental in vivo activity of these new antifungal drugs in various animal models of fungal disease, and the clinical activity of fluconazole, itraconazole and liposomal amphotericin B formulations.

    Abstract The Medical Mycological Society of the Americas (MMSA) and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) are both premier scientific organizations which held their annual conferences in Atlanta, Georgia, May 17-21, 1998. The MMSA scientific session focused on the role of animal models in drug development and on the immunology and molecular biology of the medically important fungi. The use of current molecular tools in identifying new fungal targets for the development of antifungal agents and for the study of fungal epidemiology was reviewed. At the ASM, several sessions were held which focused on the pathogenesis of fungal disease, the in vitro susceptibility testing of new (voriconazole, SCH-56592, LY-303366, metalloporphyrins) and established antifungal agents, the experimental in vivo activity of new antifungal drugs in various animal models of fungal disease and pediatric mycology; the clinical activity of fluconazole, itraconazole, liposomal nystatin and liposomal amphotericin B formulations was also reviewed.

    Abstract The Focus on Fungal Infections meeting has become a popular conference for specialists in medical mycology and antifungal chemotherapy. Highlights of the 8th meeting are reported, with a focus on infection and therapy. Although the incidence of mycoses has increased, the identification of these fungal etiologic agents remains difficult. Mucosal candidiasis caused by endogenous Candida albicans and Candida species remains the most common fungal manifestation in HIV-infected patients, while systemic infection by Aspergillus species also has increased in HIV patients. Two presenters at the meeting debated whether fungal infections in AIDS patients are becoming less common and less important. Various strategies for antifungal therapy in AIDS or HIV-positive patients were presented. Most fungal infections in solid organ transplant patients are due to Candida species or Aspergillus species; however, dematiaceous (dark-pigmented) fungi are becoming more common fungal pathogens in these patients. Antifungal therapy remains difficult in this patient group. The meeting included an overview of the current status of diagnosing fungal infections through serodiagnostic techniques. If properly validated, serology can be useful in fungal diagnosis since antigens and antibodies are easier to detect than the invading organism. Premature infants are at high risk for developing invasive fungal infections. Antifungal drugs have not been tested in controlled clinical trials in these patients, thus therapy is accomplished using adult treatment regimens and anecdotal experience. As regards the new lipid-based formulations of amphotericin B, published clinical studies are only now appearing in the literature and these reports suggest that the new formulations have reduced toxicity and comparable efficacy compared to conventional amphotericin B under various clinical conditions. Correlation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with clinical response to therapy is beginning to emerge. Two fungal cell wall-active compounds have recently entered clinical trials: an echinocandin and the chitin-synthesis inhibitor nikkomycin Z. Pradimycin and analogues have been studied through experimental animal models with good success; however, phase I clinical trials suggested drug-related toxicities and development was stopped. New molecular targets also are being investigated in antifungal therapy.

    Abstract Fungal infections are a major burden to the health and welfare of modern humans. They range from simply cosmetic, non-life-threatening skin infections to severe, systemic infections that may lead to significant debilitation or death. The selection of chemotherapeutic agents useful for the treatment of fungal infections is small. In this overview, a major chemical group with antifungal activity, the azole derivatives, is examined. Included are historical and state of the art information on the in vitro activity, experimental in vivo activity, mode of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical studies, and uses and adverse reactions of imidazoles currently marketed (clotrimazole, miconazole, econazole, ketoconazole, bifonazole, butoconazole, croconazole, fenticonazole, isoconazole, oxiconazole, sulconazole, and tioconazole) and under development (aliconazole and omoconazole), as well as triazoles currently marketed (terconazole) and under development (fluconazole, itraconazole, vibunazole, alteconazole, and ICI 195,739).

    Abstract L-671,329 is a novel, echinocandin-like natural product that possesses potent anti-Candida activity, including activity against Candida parapsilosis. The in vitro MICs of L-671,329 were comparable to aculeacin against 18 yeasts and three filamentous fungi in an agar dilution assay. L-671,329 lysed mouse red blood cells (RBCs) at a concentration of 400 micrograms/ml, but not at 50 or 12.5 micrograms/ml. Aculeacin lysed RBCs at 400 and 50 micrograms/ml. L-671,329 significantly prolonged survival of mice infected with Candida albicans (ED50 3.38 mg/kg) following twice-daily intraperitoneal dosing for five consecutive days. The prolongation observed was greater than that seen with aculeacin therapy (ED50 6.44 mg/kg). No acute or chronic toxicities of L-671,329 or aculeacin (as measured by mortality) were detected at a concentration of 100 mg/kg following intraperitoneal administration (TD50 greater than 100 mg/kg). Both L-671,329 and aculeacin eradicated cells of C. albicans from the kidneys of infected mice. L-671,329 eradicated the yeast at therapeutic concentrations of 12.5 to 100 mg/kg. Aculeacin eradicated yeast cells at therapy concentrations of 25 to 100 mg/kg. L-671,329 has potential as an anti-Candida compound.
