Pyrvinium Pamoate Synergizes with Azoles in vitro and in vivo to Exert Antifungal Efficacy Against Candida auris and Other Candida Species by Zhang J, Li G, Hu J, Tan J, Zhang H, Zhou Y

“…To extend these results in vivo, G. mellonella was infected with C. auris strain AR385 and both survival and fungal burden were assessed for treated larvae. The inclusion of PP in combination with itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole resulted in varying degrees of improvement in the survival rates of these larvae.Conclusion: Combining PP with azoles represents a promising approach to effectively disrupting the growth of azole-resistant C. auris and other Candida spp. such that it may be a promising anti-Candida therapeutic option.Keywords: Candida auris, pyrvinium pamoate, synergy azoles, Galleria mellonella…”
