Abstract excerpt
Graphium basitruncatum, a synanamorph of Pseudoallescheria has been rarely reported in human infections.

We also describe the phenotypic, molecular methods and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) used to achieve isolate identification.
