🍄 Fungal infections remain an underrecognized public health challenge. Their true burden is still largely unknown, while invasive infections are linked to high mortality.
🔬 Better awareness, diagnosis and clinical management are essential.
🎙️ Ana Alastruey-Izquierdo @SaludISCIII @MIRRI_ES addressed these challenges at the 44th Annual Meeting of the Sociedad Castellano-Leonesa de Microbiología Clínica #SOCALEMI, where she gave a talk on the practical laboratory diagnosis of the main invasive fungal infections. 🧫

📣 Preserving microbial diversity starts with being able to culture microorganisms.
Our colleagues from @CECT_UV, Àngela Vidal, Mª Carmen Macián and Amparo Ruvira, took part in #TAXONVLC2026, the 21st Meeting of the Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Diversity Group of @SEMicrobiologia. 🧫
🎙️ They shared #CECT’s work on microbial preservation and identification, from the importance of culture media in maintaining microbial collections to the use and improvement of MALDI-TOF MS databases for microbial identification, through projects such as #MALDIBANK.
🔎 Three complementary perspectives on how culture collections contribute to preserving and identifying microbial diversity and unlocking its potential.

With @CECT_UV, we joined the @ibisba_biotech, #Bioindustry40 & #BIOS event in Toulouse.
🔬 Within #Bioindustry40 WP6, #CECT is helping unlock the potential of microbial resources and advance towards interoperable data.
🌐 Microorganisms, data & infrastructures working together.
🦠 Small, invisible… and essential.
We celebrate #InternationalMicroorganismDay by highlighting the immense microbial diversity that we at #MIRRIES help to preserve, study and make available to science and society. 🧫🔬
@IntMicroDay #MIRRI_ES #MIRRI_ERIC
📣We’re still at #ECCOMeeting showcasing the diversity we preserve at @MIRRI_ES!
#BelénBaena @BEA_ULPGC presented research highlighting the diversity of cyanobacteria preserved at #BEA and the potential of microbial culture collections to generate new knowledge through genomics.

Hoy, 14-09-26, iniciamos el XXIV Congreso Nacional de Microbiología 🧫de los Alimentos 🧀🫒de @SEMicrobiologia, en Gijón, organizado por @iplacsic.
Gran oportunidad para exponer nuestro trabajo @INIA_es @MIRRI_ES, aprender, intercambiar ideas, establecer colaboraciones...
🧫Preserving microbial diversity also means opening up new frontiers.
@AuroraZuzuarre1, Rosa Aznar and Laura Gómez Martín-Ambrosio @CECT_UV #MIRRI_ES are taking part in #ECCOMeeting, focused on new possibilities offered by integrative omics in taxonomy, ecology and biotechnology.
🦠 Fungal diseases are a growing global health threat, yet they remain largely under-recognised.
#FungalDiseaseAwarenessWeek highlights how limited awareness can delay diagnosis and appropriate treatment, leading to poorer patient outcomes and increased mortality. 🧵👇
🧫 Microbial culture collections and research infrastructures are key to fungal identification, surveillance, antifungal resistance research and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
