We report the first isolation of Sporothrix schenckii from the nail surfaces of cats. The fungus grew from nail clippings of three cats associated with three household outbreaks of sporotrichosis involving cats and human beings. The identification of the isolates was based on macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics at 25 degrees C and conversion of S. schenckii to the yeast-like form at 37 degrees C.
我们报告首次从猫的指甲表面分离出申克孢子丝菌。该真菌从三只猫的指甲剪屑中生长出来,这三只猫与涉及猫和人类的三次家庭孢子丝菌病暴发有关。分离株的鉴定基于25摄氏度时的宏观和微观形态特征以及申克孢子丝菌在37摄氏度时向酵母样形态的转变。
