The World Health Organization has called fungal infections a “silent crisis.” Hard to diagnose. Increasingly resistant. Often overlooked. Meanwhile, the numbers keep rising. It’s time to bring fungi into the AMR spotlight. #AMR #OneHealth #WHA2026

New updates in the ISHAM “Pioneers in Mycology” series 🎥 Featuring new interviews, including Prof. Jack D. Sobel. The series highlights leading voices shaping medical mycology and its clinical impact. Explore all episodes: www.isham.org/about-isham/... @ishamycology.bsky.social

Myceliophthora thermophila is a thermophilic ascomycete originally described in 1963. It produces a wide range of enzymes and can degrade cellulose. Human infections are rare and often seen in severely immunocompromised patients.

Trichophyton equinum is the main cause of dermatophytosis in horses. Human infections are usually associated with direct contact with infected animals. Two recent isolates from our laboratory ⬇️

Phenotypic switching in Nakaseomyces glabratus (ex. Candida glabrata) with two phenotypes simultaneously are present in one clinical sample. They are microscopically different too; with aggregates seen in rough (opaque) variant.

The cactophilic yeasts, Sporopachydermia species, are intrinsically resistance to echinocandins. They are rarely identified in clinical laboratories but can cause human infections including bloodstream infections. Below images are S. lactativora.

Fungal infections cause an estimated 4 million deaths every year — yet remain largely invisible in global health discussions. This is not a niche issue. It’s a growing global threat. #FungalInfections #AMR #GlobalHealth
