fungal infections programme on radio 4 today about increasing resistance of various fungi, wed 25t jan this afternoon probably inside health ?

couldnt hear it properly so will have to find it on sounds

candida auris is completely resistant to all our known anti fungals. only attacks people with reduced health

cryptococcus neoforman s was also mentioned as having multiple resistance

hope i have these names correct.

After lots of courses of antibiotics fungus shows up in the system regularly, certainly in my case and its a circle to have a different course of something else to clear it up .feel like a Guinea pig.I will look into this programme and maybe get some information. Thanks

oh No! Don’t tell me that. I’ve already been told I’ve got a thing called Carbapenemase. I can’t take any penicillin based antibiotics for anything as I have become resistant and I suffer with Aspergillosis which is an allergy to a fungus. I fancy the news gets worse and worse.
