Abstract

The occurrence of the mycotoxin penitrem A in refrigerated cream cheese that was involved in the intoxication of two dogs is described. Penitrem A and the fungus Penicillium crustosum were isolated from the cream cheese and identified. This is believed to be the first definitive case of the natural occurrence of penitrem A.
