Intra-species variation of genotypes of Exophiala jeanselmei isolated from patients in Japan.
Isolates of Exophiala jeanselmei have been classified into 15 types based on their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Thirteen of the 15 types and E. spinifera, which has been classified as E. jeanselmei Type 14, were confirmed to be also clearly differentiated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal RNA genes in their nuclear DNA (nD...
متن کاملDiagnostic problems with imported cases of mycetoma in The Netherlands.
Eight cases of imported mycetomata in The Netherlands are reviewed. Seven of these were cultured; only one isolate, Actinomadura madurae, belonged to a species commonly known as an agent of mycetoma. The remaining strains either belonged to very rare species, such as Phialophora cyanescens, or could not be identified at all. The list of possible agents of mycetoma apparently needs to be expande...
متن کاملMolecular Phylogenetics of Exophiala Species Isolated from Korea
BACKGROUND Recently, identification of fungi have been supplemented by molecular tools, such as ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis. According to these tools, morphological Exophiala species was newly introduced or redefined. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the phylogenetics based on ribosomal ITS sequence analysis from clinical Exophiala species iso...
متن کاملSpecies diversity and polymorphism in the Exophiala spinifera clade containing opportunistic black yeast-like fungi.
A monophyletic group of black yeast-like fungi containing opportunistic pathogens around Exophiala spinifera is analyzed using sequences of the small-subunit (SSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) domains of ribosomal DNA. The group contains yeast-like and annellidic species (anamorph genus Exophiala) in addition to sympodial taxa (anamorph genera Ramichloridium and Rhinocladiella). The ne...
