Exophiala Lecanii-corni
''Exophiala'' is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. The widespread genus contains 28 species. The genus was formally described by J. W. Carmichael in 1966. ''Exophiala'' has been implicated in causing 'saxophone lung' or hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease that can be contracted by woodwind instrumentalists (saxophonists, clarinettists, oboists, etc.). A case study presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology highlighted that it is possible to develop this allergic pulmonary disease through improper cleaning of instruments. '' Exophiala werneckii'' is the organism responsible for tinea nigra. Some sources equate ''Hortaea werneckii'', ''Cladosporium werneckii'', ''Exophiala werneckii'', and ''Phaeoannellomyces werneckii''. ''Exophiala jeanselmei'' causes maduromycosis. This is usually an asymptomatic disease which presents with black or brown macular lesions which enlarge by peripheral extension. The ...

Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Exophiala Hongkongensis
''Exophiala hongkongensis'' is an ascomycete fungus species. Described as new to science in 2013, it was discovered on the toenail clipping of a patient with the fungal disease onychomycosis. Taxonomy The fungus strain, originally named HKU32T, was isolated from a toenail clipping of a 68-year-old female patient with onychomycosis at the Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. The overall morphology of the fungus aligned it with ''Exophiala'', but it had phenotypic characteristics that were not consistent with any other species of that genus. Molecular analysis of four independent DNA regions ( ITS, Rpb1, beta-tubulin, and beta-actin) confirmed that it was a new species. It is most closely related to '' Exophiala nishimurae'', with which it forms a clade that is sister to the species '' E. xenobiotica''. Description When grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar culture media, the fungus grows slowly as black, slimy, yeast-like colonies that reach a diameter of 2 mm after 14 days at ...

Exophiala Dermatitidis
''Exophiala dermatitidis'' is a thermophilic black yeast, and a member of the Herpotrichiellaceae. While the species is only found at low abundance in nature, metabolically active strains are commonly isolated in saunas, steam baths, and dish washers. ''Exophiala dermatitidis'' only rarely causes infection in humans, however cases have been reported around the world. In East Asia, the species has caused lethal brain infections in young and otherwise healthy individuals. The fungus has been known to cause cutaneous and subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, and as a lung colonist in people with cystic fibrosis in Europe. In 2002, an outbreak of systemic ''E. dermatitidis'' infection occurred in women who had received contaminated steroid injections at North Carolina hospitals. Appearance and general description ''Exophiala dermatitidis'' forms slow growing, brown or black colonies. As is common amongst black yeasts, ''E. dermatitidis'' is an anamorphic fungus with multiple conidial fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
