Sequence-Based Identification of Filamentous Basidiomycetous Fungi from Clinical Specimens: a Cautionary Note
31 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The species-level identification of sterile and/or arthroconidium-forming filamentous fungi presumed to be basidiomycetes based upon morphological or physiological features alone is usually not possible due to the limited amount of hyphal differentiation. Therefore, a reliable molecular approach capable of the unambiguous identification of clinical isolates is needed. One hundred sixty-eight presumptive...
