State-of-the-art in Emerging Fungal Infections 8th-9th September 2011 Diagnosis of zygomycosis in the clinical microbiology laboratory Eric DANNAOUI • Université Paris Descartes © by author • Unité de Parasitologie-Mycologie, Service de Microbiologie Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou (HEGP) ESCMID Online Lecture Library Introduction Why is it important to have a diagnosis of zygomycosis and to identify the species ? Specific treatment of zygo vs other fungi (e.g. Aspergillus)1 Some species are contamination (e.g. R. stolonifer) 2 Sometimes nosocomial infection Species differ for antifungal susceptibility Current problems Identification of the species© by inauthor culture Identification of the species directly from tissues when cultures are negative Multiresistance to antifungals ESCMID Online Lecture1.
