Abstract

The prevalence of new species of Pseudallescheria and Scedosporium in a collection of 46 clinical isolates was analyzed. Strain identification was done by morphological and molecular methods. Four Scedosporium aurantiacum isolates were detected among the panel of clinical strains. The susceptibility profile of S. aurantiacum was similar to that of Scedosporium apiospermum.
