Abstract

ABSTRACT The therapeutic effectiveness of water-soluble echinocandin compounds obtained from Coleophoma empetri F-11899, which has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of fungi, was examined in nude mice with experimental Pneumocystis pneumonia. The studies demonstrated the potential usefulness of the compounds.
