Abstract
Worldwide there is a steady increase in the number of fungal infections each year. Simultaneously, there is a high rise of antifungal resistance among the Candida isolates. This has now become a major concern in hospitalized patients resulting in poor treatment outcome. Echinocandins, a new group of antifungals has given promising results inspite of its increasing rate of resistance exhibited by some Candida species.
