| Black yeast-like fungi in skin and nail: it probably matters. | Black yeast-like fungi are rarely reported from superficial infections. We noticed a consistent prevalence of these organisms as single isolations from mycological routine specimens. To investigate the prevalence of black yeast-like fungi in skin, hair and nail specimens and to discuss the probability of these species to be involved in disease. Slow-growing black yeast-like fungi in routine specimens were prospectively collected and identified. A questionnaire regarding patient information was s ... | 2011 | 21736629 |
| subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by cladophialophora boppii. | subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is an infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, caused by dematiaceous fungi. an adult male presented with a history of multiple reddish nodules over the face and hands. histopathological examination of the skin biopsies showed a dense granulomatous infiltrate of macrophages, containing intracytoplasmic basophilic bodies throughout the dermis. gomori methenamine-silver stained sections revealed yeast cells within macrophages. multiple cultures on sabouraud's d ... | 2010 | 21079316 |
| toenail infection by cladophialophora boppii. | cladophialophora boppii is a black yeast-like fungus that up to now has been only rarely described as a cause of human infection and whose role as a pathogen was not established despite its repeated isolation and genetic identification in these reports. here we report the first case of a verified toenail infection caused by this fungus in a woman without any systemic disease or evidence of immunodeficiency. identical dark molds were isolated from the same toenail at three points of time. species ... | 2010 | 20950220 |
| fungal growth on anion surfactant medium. | before the present study, no fungi using anion surfactant as a nutrient had been identified, although some fungi were known to use nonion surfactant. washing water collected from 63 washing machines was inoculated onto 0.1% las (sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate) anion surfactant media to identify fungi that can feed on anion-surfactant. small dark colonies of fungi were found on several of the petri-dishes from 12 days after inoculation. these were identified as cladophialophora boppii and exophi ... | 2009 | 20055223 |
| pulmonary cladophialophora boppii infection in a lung transplant recipient: case report and literature review. | cladophialophora boppii is a dematiaceous fungus, which has been reported only rarely to be the cause of cutaneous infection. herein we describe a c boppii parenchymal and bronchial infection in a lung transplant recipient. we also illustrate the clinicoradiologic patterns and review possible treatment options for these difficult infections. | 2009 | 19481026 |
| [taeniolella boppi, a new species, causative agent of chromomycosis]. | the holotype is described of a new species of chromomycetes, that was isolated by prof. clovis bopp (porto alegre, rio grande do sul, brasil) from lesions of chromomycosis in the inferior limb of a woman. the binomium taeniolella boppii is proposed for the new taxon. the whole mycelium is dark. the culture surface is velvetyyowdery, folded into a few forrows, at first olive green later on olive black in color. the macro-culture's diameter grows 1,5 mm. a day. the minimum growing temperature lies ... | 1983 | 6355702 |
