"Fungal resistance is a silent and underestimated threat. The same substances helping to protect crops are also reducing the effectiveness of essential medicines. If we fail to act, we risk losing critical treatments and putting lives at risk” @mbottery.bsky.social www.fungalamr.org/post/three-u...

Antifungal treatment is threatened by the dual-use of chemicals in agriculture and medicine. To address the UK’s fragmented response to this urgent problem, we call for: • A cross-government fAMR body • Improved fAMR surveillance • Fungicide policy reform Read now: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Such a good day playing Resistance Reservoirs at the Great Exhibition Road Festival yesterday! Come down to the Underground Adventure Zone 12-6 today to learn about fungal disease and antifungal resistance #GERF2026 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

Now out in Nature Medicine: 17 medical and One Health mycology networks, including F1AMR, argue that "Drug-resistant fungal disease must be addressed in the 2026 update to the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance"

F1AMR and @climarnetwork.bsky.social in Open Access Government: "Addressing the silent pandemic: the interplay between climate change and AMR". Global heating is likely to drive increased fungicide use, which drives resistance - at the same time as allowing potential pathogens to expand their range
