Candida ciferrii and Candida chiropterorum isolated from clinical specimens

R M Furman et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1983 Nov.

Abstract

Ten clinical yeast isolates submitted to the Centers for Disease Control from diverse geographic areas were identified as Candida ciferrii and Candida chiropterorum. The association of C. ciferrii with clinical specimens, particularly its repeated isolation from a case of onychomycosis, suggests that this species may be an etiological agent of superficial yeast infections.
