Did you miss todayβs #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc discussion with @doctorfungus and @becky_a_smith1?
Good news - it was recorded and is available here π
Special thanks to our expert panelists @Becky_A_Smith1 & @doctorfungus for an illuminating #OpenMyc conversation on healthcare-acquired fungal infections for #FungalWeek23!
The recording will be available until 10/18/23
Thanks to everyone who joined us!

A4b: These Three Steps are Essential in Combating #HospitalAssociated #Mold #Infections
- Prioritise hand hygiene.
- Isolate at-risk patients.
- Educate professionals on mold risks.
#OpenMyc #FungalWeek23 @MSG_ERC @CDC_NCEZID
Q4b. What infection control measure are critical for reducing the risk of hospital-associated mold infections? #OpenMyc #FungalWeek23
A1: #CandidaAuris concerns me the most. It's an emerging multidrug-resistant fungus causing severe infections in hospitalised patients. Its ability to spread and its resistance to antifungals makes it a significant threat to #PatientSafety
#OpenMyc #FungalWeek23 @MSG_ERC
Q1. What healthcare-associated fungal infection worries you the most and why?
#OpenMyc #FungalWeek23
@CDC_NCEZID After publishing an explainer article in @ConversationUS on Drug Resistant #AMR Fungal Infections worldwide, @txst @txst_news created this educational vid about the dangers of #fungal infections. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc with our @TXST_CLS @txstscls majors. https://t.co/U0kyyqyD1e

βοΈGreat learning opportunity!
@XSpaces part has just started!
@MSG_ERC @CDC_NCEZID @GermHunterMD @Becky_A_Smith1 @doctorfungus #OpenMyc #FungalWeek23
Join us next Tuesday Sept 19 at noon ET for an #OpenMyc TweetChat for #FungalWeek23 all about healthcare-associated fungal infections
Followed by an audio @XSpaces with @GermHunterMD joined by guest experts @Becky_A_Smith1 & @doctorfungus

Q4b: We recently did a deep-dive on our podcast, #5SecondRuleShow! https://t.co/wmgPnleXyh #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc
Would love to hear from a few of our IPs....

A6: If C. auris transmission is suspected within a facility, genomic sequencing can help public health officials confirm transmission and promote the need for stronger infection control measures. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc
A6: Epidemiology leads to hypotheses that molecular tools can help confirm or refute. If a common contaminated product is suspected, genomic sequencing tells us whether the isolates are clonal. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc
@MSG_ERC I think putting prior experience in use to contain a similar event is a better practice! #openmyc #FungalWeek23

Q6. How can molecular tools complement traditional epidemiological methods for investigating healthcare associated fungal infection outbreaks?

A5: We have improved laboratory techniques for diagnosing fungal meningitis in the last 10 years. Continued improvement in diagnostics and treatment options will be key to saving more lives in the future. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc
A5: In 2023, all cases were associated with epidural procedures w/ the cause of the outbreak likely being a contaminated medicine. The fungus implicated in the 2023 outbreak, Fusarium solani, has an estimated 50% mortality rate. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc

A5: Many cases in 2012 were associated with epidural procedures. Contaminated steroid injections caused fungal meningitis infections; the fungus that caused the infections, Exserohilum rostratum, tends to cause a milder and less fatal illness. #FungalWeek23 #OpenMyc

Q5. Compare and contrast the 2012 and 2023 multistate fungal meningitis outbreaks.
Are we are getting better at prevention/ detection/ containment?
What challenges persist?Β
