In 2003, two main international meetings were organized in the field of medical mycology. In San Antonio, 670 scientists gathered for the 15th ISHAM Congress. This meeting, traditionally the main Medical Mycology congress, included sessions on such diverse fields as Diagnostics, Immunity, Epidemiology, Evolution, Ecology, Resistance, Morphogenesis, Teaching, and Genomics.Yeasts, being among the most important pathogens, were dealt with in various sessions. Of course the most extensively discussed yeast was Candida albicans , but this was closely followed by Cryptococcus neoformans. The latest research on morphogenesis, biochemistry and genomics of clinically important yeasts was presented …
