title: Latest trends in fungal epidemiology inform treatment choices and stewardship initiatives.
abstract: Twelve months after the WHO launched its global campaign to safeguard current antimicrobial medicines for future generations, antifungal stewardship initiatives were a major focus for the 2012 European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, in London, UK. Speakers from Europe, North and South America and Asia reported significant variations in fungal epidemiology and resistance, and demonstrated the value of multidisciplinary infectious disease advisory teams in monitoring local trends and making recommendations about the most appropriate antifungal treatment.
