Resistance to antifungal drugs is an emerging and understudied issue in veterinary medicine. In this session, we will assess current information on this potential future challenge for practitioners, what challenges we are likely to face and what we might be able to tackle now as leaders in infectious disease.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss common antifungal resistant pathogens, antifungal susceptibility testing and their potential impact on companion animals.
Review results of a nationwide survey on the current state of antifungal use and stewardship in companion animal medicine.
