subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by exophiala equina, with susceptibility to eight antifungal drugs.	a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by exophiala equina is reported in a 75-year-old female, who showed subcutaneous abscesses on both forearms for 8 months. a lesion was initiated by inoculation with a spine from a tree. histopathologically, suppurative granulomatous inflammation was present and short hyphal elements were observed. upon culture greyish-black, velvety colonies of a black yeast were obtained after 3 weeks. the strain grew well at 25 °c, but poorly at 37 °c. after sequ ...	2013	23449873
analysis of black fungal biofilms occurring at domestic water taps. i: compositional analysis using tag-encoded flx amplicon pyrosequencing.	mass growth of dark fungal biofilms on water taps and associated habitats was observed in various german drinking water distribution systems recently. customers of affected drinking water systems are anxious about potential and unknown health risks. these environments are known to harbour a fungal flora also comprising a variety of fungal opportunists that are well known to cause superficial mycoses in humans (exophiala equina, exophiala lecanii-corni) but are not known to establish dark biofilm ...	2013	23385952
