12th ASM Conference on Candida and Candidiasis March 26-30, 2014. New Orleans, USA. This is the 12th conference in the highly successful ASM conference series that addresses Candida – a major cause of infectious disease in AIDS patients, cancer chemotherapy patients, premature infants, and many others. This conference, which is the top conference in the area, will provide a vital forum for the Candida research community to present the latest advances and ideas about the diagnosis and treatment of Candida infections, antifungal drug resistance, the genomics and epidemiology of the fungus, the molecular mechanisms that underpin Candida pathobiology, and the immunological responses of the host to the fungus.

Research Assistant/Associate In 2011 The European Union launched its action plan to fight antibiotic resistance. Through this action plan it has recently funded a �6.3 million multi-centre collaborative project whose aim is to develop novel agents to combat the emergence of antifungal drug resistance. The role of the Manchester Fungal Infection Group (MFIG) is to identify the mechanism of action of a collection of antifungal drugs and to use structure based drug design to aid in the development of novel compounds. The 3 year full-time Research Associate post described here is critical to the overall success of the project.

ECDC issues risk assessment on azole resistance in Aspergillus from environmental azole fungicide. Today the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) issued a risk assessment report on azole resistance in Aspergillus spp. and its possible link to environmental usage of azole fungicides. An increase of strains of Aspergillus causing serious human infection showing resistance to azole antifungals has been detected in several European countries although the number of studies is small. However, a high rate of therapy failures has been reported in patients having Aspergillus isolates resistant to triazole antifungals. The report concludes about the need to improve surveillance to get good and reliable data about resistance in A. fumigatus. It all recommends accelerating progress on direct molecular detection of resistance from clinical specimens, even if culture negative. It also identifies the need for further research into the causes for the development of triazole resistance, in particular to investigate the environmental origin of azole resistance, and how reversible this with alternative fungicide treatments.

Request for assistance from clinics in all five continents of the world with a study entitled “Pulmonary aspergillosis in kidney transplant recipients” supported by REIPI and GESITRA This study has two targets. The first target is to define some risk factors that allow the identification of a subgroup of kidney transplant recipients that would be candidates for antifungal prophylaxis active against Aspergillus. The second target is to find factors implicated in the outcome that were amenable to intervention. In this context, we think that it is especially relevant to assess how best to proceed with immunosuppressive drugs when aspergillosis is diagnosed. The study will retrospectively include cases of probable or probed pulmonary aspergillosis (according to EORTC-MSG definition) diagnosed in kidney transplant recipients from the year 2000 to now. It will be a case-control study. Each included case must be accompanied by a control. The control will be a subject that received a kidney transplant in the same hospital just before or after the case. The control should have survived at least as long as did the case until the development of pulmonary aspergillosis.

The sequences were extracted from Genbank (GB) and arranged on the NCBI taxonomy tree. ITS1 start and end boundaries were defined by GB annotations and/or designed by mapping Hidden Markov Model (HMM) profiles of flanking 18S and 5.8S ribosomal RNA coding genes on each sequence.
