Background. Echinocandins are recommended for Candia glabrata candidemia. Mutations in the FKS1 and FKS2 genes are associated with echinocandin resistance. Few studies have assessed risk factors for FKS mutant isolates and outcomes in patients receiving micafungin treatment.Methods. Patients with C. glabrata bloodstream infection admitted to a large, tertiary care hospital between 2009 and 2012 were included in this study. For each isolate, FKS1 and FKS2 genes were sequenced to identify mutations. Risk factors for FKS mutations and treatment outcomes in patients receiving an echinocandin were assessed using multivariate logistic regression.Results. Seventy-two patients were included in the study of which 13 (18%) had an FKS mutant isolate. The only significant predictor for FKS mutations was prior echinocandin exposure (odds ratio [OR], 19.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.7-84.7; P
