This is a good opportunity to let our Members know what your Council has achieved during it’s 2015-2018 term so far and what we are working on at the moment.
The theme of our activities has been collaboration and global education. The following are some of the achievements:
In collaboration with EUCAST, the European Union Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing and support from Gilead Sciences we have developed a smart phone app called FungiMICs. FungiMICs is intended as an easy-to-use information source for physicians working in the field of fungal infections. The app aims to provide MIC data and associated clinical breakpoints and epidemiological cut-off (ECOFF) values for different organism–drug interactions, in an intuitive and practical format.
The app contains MIC distributions from the EUCAST MIC distribution and ECOFF website which are based on collated data from multiple sources worldwide. The histograms and box plots included on this app display wild type organisms, together with EUCAST clinical breakpoints and ECOFFs. Not all drugs have established MIC values for the fungal organisms within this app. The app is available in the Applestore and Playmarket for Android phones, iPhones and iPads. Search for FungiMICs.
