ISHAM welcomes a new Working Group on Zygomycoses, see here. This is an established WG of the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) but has decided also to join ISHAM in view of internationalization. Convener is Dr G. Petrikkos, petrikos@med.uoa.gr or petrikos@hol.gr .

A new version of the Penn State Fusarium-ID (previously http://fusarium.cbio.psu.edu/u) sequence identification database is in progress, and a new update will be up by the end of 2008.  In the current version, you can generate a translation elongation factor 1-alpha sequence and BLAST it against the database of 445 sequences from vouchered, publicly available cultures. The new version (http://isolate.fusariumdb.org) will include sequences from more genes and far more isolates, with additional features and downloadable data.

New guidelines for susceptibility testing of fungi are available from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and can be purchased at the CLSI website .
