Case Report: Echinocandin-Resistance Candida glabrata FKS Mutants From Patient Following Radical Cystoprostatectomy Due to Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Invasive Candida glabrata infections are not common complications after radical cystoprostatectomy. Furthermore, resistance to echinocandins arising during the course of a patient's treatment is rarely recognised. We described a case of development of echinocandin resistance in a patient with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (pT2b N0 M0, high grade) diagnosis, subjected to radical cystoprostatectomy and exposed to echinocandins. A male patient with a previous surgical history after a traffic accident, who was operated on due to bladder cancer, underwent an episode of candidemia and mixed postoperative wound and urinary tract infection caused by C. glabrata and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli during hospital treatment. The patient was start
