Sodium chloride as aid in identification of Phaeoannellomyces werneckii and other medically important dematiaceous fungi

J Kane et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1987 May.

Abstract

Seventeen taxa of dematiaceous fungi isolated from humans were tested to determine their responses to various concentrations of sodium chloride in vitro. Five groups of species were recognized on the basis of differing tolerances. Phaeoannellomyces werneckii was distinguished by its tolerance of greater than or equal to 15% NaCl; most dematiaceous pathogens were suppressed at less than or equal to 7% NaCl.
