Phylogenetic studies of the family Arthrodermataceae have revealed seven monophyletic dermatophyte clades representing the genera Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, Nannizzia, Lophophyton, Paraphyton, Microsporum, and Arthroderma. Members of the genus Nannizzia are geo- or zoophiles that occasionally infect humans. With the newly proposed taxonomy, the genus Nannizzia comprises thirteen species, i.e., Nannizzia aenigmatica, N. corniculata, N. duboisii, N. fulva, N. graeserae, N. gypsea, N. nana, N. incurvata, N. perplicata, N. persicolor, N. praecox, and two novel species. Nannizzia polymorpha sp. nov. was isolated from a skin lesion of a patient from French Guiana. For the strain originally described as Microsporum racemosum by Borelli in 1965, we proposed Nannizzia lorica nom. nov. The species are fully characterized with five sequenced loci (ITS, LSU, TUB2, RP 60S L1 and TEF3), combined with morphology of the asexual form and physiological features. A key to the species based on phenotypic and physiological characters is provided.
菌物系统学研究表明,亲表皮真菌科包含七个单系的皮肤癣菌属,代表属有毛癣菌属、表皮癣菌属、小孢子菌属、枝孢属、拟小孢子菌属、疣状毛癣菌属和疣状表皮癣菌属。枝孢属的成员是地或动物亲和性的,偶尔会感染人类。在新提出的分类法中,枝孢属包括 13 个种,即 Nannizzia aenigmatica、N. corniculata、N. duboisii、N. fulva、N. graeserae、N. gypsea、N. nana、N. incurvata、N. perplicata、N. persicolor、N. praecox 和两个新种。Nannizzia polymorpha sp. nov. 是从法属圭亚那的一位患者的皮肤损伤中分离出来的。对于 1965 年由 Borelli 最初描述为 Microsporum racemosum 的菌株,我们提议使用 Nannizzia lorica nom. nov. 这个新名称。这些种是通过五个测序基因座(ITS、 LSU、TUB2、RP 60S L1 和 TEF3)与无性型形态和生理特征相结合来全面描述的。提供了一个基于表型和生理特征的种的关键特征。
