The echinocandin susceptibilities of bloodstreamCandida isolates growing in a biofilm was investigated. Within the therapeutic range of concentrations of each drug, caspofungin and micafungin were active against biofilms formed byCandida albicans orC. glabrata but not those formed byC. tropicalis orC. parapsilosis .
