No to : Phylogenomic and Practical Reasons for Continued Inclusion of the Fusarium solani Species Complex in the Genus .

This article is to alert medical mycologists and infectious disease specialists of recent name changes of medically important species of the filamentous mold species can cause localized and life-threating infections in humans. Of the 70 species that have been reported to cause infections, close to one-third are members of the species complex (FSSC), and they collectively account for approximately two-thirds of all reported infections. Many of these species were recently given scientific names for the first time by a research group in the Netherlands, but they were misplaced in the genus In this paper, we present genetic arguments that strongly support inclusion of the FSSC in There are potentially serious consequences associated with using the name for species because clinicians need to be aware that fusaria are broadly resistant to the spectrum of antifungals that are currently available.
