Seventy years of research into FS were found, with the majority of publications after 1990, peaking in 2022. Almost half of the FS publications were about Agriculture, and plant pathogens were the most common niche studied. The most studied fungi were <em>Beauveria bassiana, Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, and <em>Aspergillus nidulans</em>. Studies on FS were conducted in 87 countries by at least 9766 researchers.

It has recently garnered increased attention due to rising both incidence and potential mortality. Early recognition and rapid intervention are essential for improving patient outcomes, as untreated FP can progress to sepsis and multi-organ failure if not treated appropriately. Culture-negative fungal peritonitis is commonly observed, and its presence should be further considered. This study aimed to utilize Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing to investigate the fungal profiles present in peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE) from patients experiencing PD-related peritonitis, based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS). The results indicated that the ONT was able to identify fungal taxa in 69 out of 104 samples (66.3 %), which included mixed organisms. The predominant phyla identified in the PDE sample were Basidiomycota, followed by Ascomycota and Glomeromycota. Notably, <em>Wallemia</em> was the most frequently detected fungal genus suggesting the fungal thrive in moist environments and can contaminate dialysis system. This observation suggests a possible association with opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals, particularly those undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
