We studied 40 strains of the species complex formerly classified as the single species Sporothrix schenckii to identify new species within this complex and evaluate their antifungal susceptibility profiles. Based on phenotypic tests (ability to grow at 37°C, colony diameters, and pigmentation of the colonies, as well as assimilation of sucrose and raffinose) and molecular assays (amplification of a fragment of the calmodulin gene), here we report the identification of S. albicans, S. brasiliensis, S. luriei, and S. schenckii; two isolates of these species were detected as itraconazole-resistant strains.
我们研究了以前被归类为单一物种申克孢子丝菌的种复合体中的 40 株菌株,以鉴定该复合体中的新物种,并评估它们的抗真菌药敏谱。基于表型试验(在 37°C 下生长的能力、菌落直径和菌落的色素沉着,以及蔗糖和棉子糖的同化)和分子检测(钙调蛋白基因片段的扩增),我们在此报告了白念珠菌、巴西念珠菌、卢里念珠菌和申克孢子丝菌的鉴定;这些种的两个分离株被检测为伊曲康唑耐药株。
