Antifungal Resistance Surveillance: Insights From National Mycology Reference Centers and Expert Mycology Laboratories.

ABSTRACT: Fungal pathogens and the infections they cause are notoriously understudied and underrepresented in public health surveillance programs. Recent initiatives, such as that of the Joint Programming Initiative on Anti-Microbial Resistance (JPIAMR), recognize these gaps and have supported the development of a fungal surveillance resistance network. The International Fungal Network for One-Health Resistance Surveillance: Antifungal Resistance (INFORM-AFR) network sought to enhance understanding of existing surveillance programs, with the ultimate goal of developing standardized fungal surveillance strategies that enable international comparisons. A survey was conducted involving mycology reference centers or public health institutes (n = 15) from 12 countries, each responsible for nationwide or
