Since fungal identification methods based on examination of morphological and phenotypic features are complicated by the astonishing diversity of organisms capable of causing human infections especial...

Candidemia remains a prevalent and life-threatening infection, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly in critically ill patients (1, 2). Invasive candidiasis affects over 250,00...

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions...

This review provides an in-depth exploration of antifungal resistance in non-fumigatus Aspergillus species, mainly focusing on acquired resistance. The available data have been compiled and sometimes ...

WHO's reports addressing the critical lack of medicines and diagnostic tools for invasive fungal diseases, shows urgent need for innovative research and development (R&D) to close the gaps. Fungal dis...

The organization's reports discuss the small number of newly approved treatments, the limited, late-stage antifungal pipeline, and challenges around diagnostics for this class of infections.

The halt has frozen research grants, meetings and key health updates. “Everything is basically in chaos,” said one cancer researcher.

Halts to external communications, publishing reports and reviewing and approving research a ‘dramatic shift’

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.
