Overview
Among 162 human isolates of Trichosporon the author isolated according to „crucial“ signs (Guéhoet al. 1992, 1994) the following as dominant: T. mucoides (41%) and T. asahii (33%), T. inkin, T. ovoidesand others as well as non-pathogenic T. pullulans were rare in their investigation. To the originallymost frequently reported type T. cutaneum belonged less than 10% of the total number of isolates.The variability of physiological and biological signs did not make classification of 5% isolatedTrichosporon strains possible. The disc diffusion method confirmed resistance of the tested strainsto 5-fluorocytosine, and inhibition by polyenie and azole antimycotics.
Key words:
Trichosporon – human isolates – identification – new criteria.
