TL;DR: An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses.

TL;DR: The southeastern Brazilian isolates had an overwhelming clonal population structure and showed less genetic variability when compared with populations from different continents based on data extracted from the ISHAM-MLST database (mlst.mycologylab.org).
Journal ArticleDOI
Rearing and maintenance of Galleria mellonella and its application to study fungal virulence
Carolina Firacative,Carolina Firacative,Aziza Khan,Shuyao Duan,Kennio Ferreira-Paim,Diana Leemon,Wieland Meyer +6 more
TL;DR: There is a critical need for standardized procedures and incubation conditions for rearing G. mellonella to produce quality, unstressed larvae with the least genetic variability, and cost-effective protocols for the propagation and maintenance are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Westmead Medical Mycology Collection: basis for research and diagnosis of fungal diseases
TL;DR: The Westmead Medical Mycology Collection is completing20 years of existence, with 10,073 strains deposited representing 437 species, which are currently maintained, forming the basis for the qualitycontrolled ISHAM-ITS sequence database for human and animal pathogenic fungi.
