Do high MICs predict the outcome in invasive fusariosis?

Marcio Nucci et al.

Summary: The study did not find a clear correlation between MIC and mortality at 6 weeks in patients with invasive fusariosis, but persistent neutropenia and receipt of corticosteroids were strong predictors of 6 week mortality.

Phylogenomic Analysis of a 55.1-kb 19-Gene Dataset Resolves a Monophyletic Fusarium that Includes the Fusarium solani Species Complex

David M. Geiser et al.

Summary: The debate over the classification of the Fusarium genus in recent years has focused on whether the FSSC should be included in Fusarium, but molecular phylogenetic research has shown strong support for the monophyly of Fusarium including the FSSC, which is considered the best taxonomic option available.

Clinical Origin and Species Distribution of Fusarium spp. Isolates Identified by Molecular Sequencing and Mass Spectrometry: A European Multicenter Hospital Prospective Study

Anne-Cecile Normand et al.

Summary: The Mass Spectrometry Identification database (MSI) allows fast, accurate, and free-access identification of fungi, yet challenges remain in identifying Fusarium isolates at the species level. Different identification techniques showed varying accuracy at the species level, highlighting the need for further improvement of the mass spectrometry database.

Invasive Fusariosis in Nonneutropenic Patients, Spain, 2000-2015

Elena Perez-Nadales et al.

Summary: A retrospective study in 18 Spanish hospitals from 2000 to 2015 found that the incidence of IF in nonneutropenic patients increased over time. The main risk factor for death among IF patients was persistent neutropenia.
