| studies in phylogeny, development of rapid identificationmethods, antifungal susceptibility, and growth rates of clinical strains of sporothrix schenckii complex in japan. | sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by the sporothrix species, which have distinct virulence profiles and geographic distributions. we performed a phylogenetic study in strains morphologically identified as sporothrix schenckii from clinical specimens in japan, which were preserved at the medical mycology research center, chiba university. in addition, we examined the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and growth rate to evaluate their physiological features. three hundred strains were e ... | 2016 | 27581775 |
