Fungal infections have drawn attention in India through chronic dermatophytosis, Candida auris and the post-pandemic surge in mucormycosis. The sample titles speciate Candida from ICU, neonatal and vaginal samples, compare CHROMagar with conventional identification, test biofilm formation and antifungal susceptibility, examine terbinafine response in dermatophytes and topical steroid misuse, and evaluate galactomannan and cryptococcal antigen.

Fungal cultures grow slowly and some moulds need special media, so set aside time for identification. Antifungal susceptibility testing needs reference methods or commercial panels, which should be costed early. Clinical outcome studies, such as mucormycosis survival, depend on cooperation with ENT, ophthalmology and medicine. Separating colonisation from infection requires clear clinical criteria.

4Tips for a Mycology thesis

  • Perform antifungal susceptibility testing by CLSI broth microdilution or a validated commercial method, and use species-specific breakpoints where they exist.
  • Confirm suspected Candida auris with MALDI-TOF or molecular methods, since conventional biochemical identification systems often misidentify it as another species.
  • Combine KOH mount, culture and, when possible, histopathology, and record prior antifungal use, which can reduce culture yield and confuse results.
