Increasing of detection rate of antifungal-resistant fungi is a serious global concern in public health. As few epidemiological data on resistant fungi in Brazil have been available, we planned an international joint project with the University of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil to research antifungal-resistant fungi. This project, supported by the SATREPS program of the Japanese government, started in fiscal 2017.
