TL;DR: Management of mucormycosis depends on recognising disease patterns and on early diagnosis, and limited availability of contemporary treatments burdens patients in low and middle income settings.

TL;DR: An extensive search of medical literature from Latin America suggests that the incidence of IFIs from both endemic and opportunistic fungi has increased, which is probably related to population changes (migration, tourism, and increased population growth), whereas the increase in opportunistic mycoses may be associated with the greater number of people at risk.

TL;DR: The cumulative incidence rate in these centers was higher than other reports from tertiary care hospitals from Latin America, and knowledge of local epidemiologic patterns permits the design of more specific strategies for prevention and preemptive therapy of CBSI.

TL;DR: This protocol describes, in detail, a human skin model to study C. auris biofilm formation using catheterized and non-catheterized skin.

TL;DR: A member of a complex of soilassociated fungal species distributed worldwide that cause spoilage of vegetables and fruit, R. arrhizus is also widely used in food industry in the production of fermented food and in other biotechnological industries, such as research and development of new therapeutic compounds as discussed by the authors .
