SUMMARY:CDC Webinar | A Patient- Centered Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance: From Diagnostic Advances to Clinical Care
DESCRIPTION:Follow the CDC online during Fungal Disease Awareness Week\, September 16-20. Join the CDC and WHO kick off FDAW 2024 with a reminder of what drives global fungal disease research and initiatives: the patients. Experts will share updates on antimicrobial resistance and advancements in diagnostics and susceptibility testing; efforts to improve patient care. Next a clinician and professor will describe the scope of Cryptococcus infections and invasive fungal diseases in Nigeria and work to improve surveillance. Last\, a survivor will share how a patient experiences misdiagnosis and diagnostic challenges\, difficulties with antifungal treatment and management\, and long-term impacts of Valley fever. Experiences like this are why FDAW is important. \nRegister now \nPresenters:  \n\nAna Alastruey\, PhD\, MSc- Research Scientist\, National Centre for Microbiology\, Instituto de Salud Carlos III\, Spain\nDaniel Marcano\, MSc- Technical Officer\, WHO AMR Division\nRita Oladele\, MD- Professor\, College of Medicine\, University of Lagos\, Nigeria.\nRob Purdie– Valley Fever Institute\, Kern Medical; Taskforce of AMR Survivors\, WHO
