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

A long time ago in this same galaxy, we asked ourselves "where does azole antifungal resistance in fungi come from?"
So we set about sampling Aspergillus fumigatus to build a collection of 1000+ samples spanning a century from 34 countries.
