Analysis of Phylogenetic Relationship of <i>Cylindrocarpon lichenicola</i> and <i>Acremonium falciforme</i> to the <i>Fusarium solani</i> Species Complex and a Review of Similarities in the Spectrum of Opportunistic Infections Caused by These Fungi

Abstract excerpt

An emerging pattern of similarity in medical case reports led to a project to compare the phylogenetic affinities of two well-known tropical fungal opportunistic pathogens, Cylindrocarpon lichenicola and Acremonium falciforme, to members of the Fusarium solani species complex. C. lichenicola and A. falciforme, despite their deviating conidial morphologies, were shown via sequencing of the ribosomal large subunit...
