Clinical Microbiologist. Love everything diagnostic and antimicrobial. Opinions are my own.

@JordanKM19 @TMcCarty2010 @bradleyfungus @GermHunterMD @ruwandi_k91 Haha interesting! Thanks for sharing. I feel like I want to change the acronym to FAASH (remove cocci!).

@JordanKM19 @TMcCarty2010 @bradleyfungus @GermHunterMD @ruwandi_k91 What species?

[Tanis Dingle, Ph.D, FCCM, D(ABMM) @TanisDingle]

@JordanKM19 @GermHunterMD @ruwandi_k91 I should mention I don’t think this is Histo because it would be in its yeast form on direct exam from a blood culture vial.

[Tanis Dingle, Ph.D, FCCM, D(ABMM) @TanisDingle]

@JordanKM19 @GermHunterMD @ruwandi_k91 Not many molds can grow in blood culture bottles. The ones that come to mind are Fusarium, Scedosporium/Lomentospora and Acremonium. I’ve also seen Histoplasma grow in routine bacterial blood culture vials.

@GermHunterMD @DrToddLee Sounds about right 🙅‍♀️🤣

Trichophyton indotineae is a recently-emerged fungus causing severe cases of ringworm across the world that often fail first-line therapy. This paper provides comprehensive analyses of the largest United States cohort of Trichophyton indotineae infections. https://t.co/pEHYlprM4h

@SBtotheDub Thanks, Susan!

[Tanis Dingle, Ph.D, FCCM, D(ABMM) @TanisDingle]

@SBtotheDub Providing an excellent overview of how we got to where we are with bacterial/fungal taxonomy changes and justification as to why adopting those new names may not be appropriate.

@JordanKM19 It’s so pretty! 😍

[Julia Hankins, PhD, D(ABMM) @JuliaDHankins]

Often, Mucorales fungi are called aseptate. But in reality, they are pauciseptate, which means they do have septations, but its just rare. You can see a perfect example of this in this lung biopsy (pic on R) and the LPCB tape preps (pics on L).

[Michael Ison, MD MS @MichaelGIsonMD]

Despite the know limitation of many fungal markers, they are frequently ordered (often repeatedly) in lung transplant recipients. @CA_Boutin reviewed the experience @NM_Lung @NM_Transplant found limited utility of addition of BD glucan.
