      The isolation of a pan-echinocandin-resistant Candida parapsilosis strain (anidulafungin, caspofungin, micafungin and rezafungin EUCAST MICs > 8 mg/L) from urine of a patient following prolonged exposure to echinocandins (38 days of micafungin followed by 16 days of anidulafungin) is described. The isolate harbored the novel alteration F652S in the hotspot 1 region of fks1. Isogenic C. parapsilosis bloodstream isolates collected up to 1.5 months earlier from the same patient were susceptible to echinocandins (anidulafungin, caspofungin and micafungin EUCAST MICs 1–2, 1 and 1 mg/L, respectively) and contained wild-type FKS1 sequences. This is the first report of pan-echinocandin resistance in C. parapsilosis associated with an aminoacid change in hotspot 1 region of fks1. © 2022 by the authors.
