Abstract

In this presentation, Prof. Dr. Francelise Bridi Cavassin, Professor of Pharmacology in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, delivers a clear and well‑structured introduction to rezafungin, a next‑generation echinocandin designed for extended‑interval dosing. She reviews its mechanism of action, antifungal activity against Candida and Aspergillus species, and the potential clinical advantages associated with its distinctive pharmacokinetic profile. The video offers a concise summary of current evidence and key considerations for the future management of invasive fungal infections. The ECMM Excellence Center Cologne video series provides healthcare professionals and researchers with up-to-date knowledge on fungal infections and antifungal therapy. Each session features expert presentations and case-based discussions. The series emphasizes both clinical practice and scientific understanding. The video series serves as a platform for the collection and exchange of knowledge; responsibility for the content and its quality lies with the individual speakers.
