Need for early antifungal treatment confirmed in experimental disseminated Candida albicans infection.

abstract：:The most widely used drug for treatment of candidiasis is fluconazole (FCZ). Recently, a new derivative of 1,4-benzothiazine, compound FS5, was developed. FS5 had an appreciable protective effect against murine candidiasis. The present study was designed to dissect the antifungal mechanisms triggered by FS5 and to est...
