Coniochaeta massiliensis sp. nov. Isolated from a Clinical Sampl28

Abstract: The genus Coniochaeta belongs to the class Ascomycota and the family Coniochaetaceae. Some of the Coniochaeta species are plant and animal pathogens, while others are known to be primarily involved in human diseases. In the last few decades, case reports of human infections with Coniochaeta have increased, mainly in immunocompromised hosts. We have described and characterised a new species in the genus Coniochaeta, here named Coniochaeta massiliensis (PMML0158), which was isolated from a clinical sample. Speci… Show more

“…Environmental and human-induced factors are greatly impacting the evolution, selection, and adaptation of previously harmless fungal species, which are now posing a growing threat to the health of humans and animals [32]. This is the case for Candida viswanathii, C. auris, C. blankii, C. palmioleophila, C. vulturna, C. massiliensis, Trichophyton indotineae, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, and Kodamaea ohmeri, all of which are environmental fungi that have been successfully adapted to animals or humans over time [12,18,31,[33][34][35][36].…”

“…1970) [50], also never before isolated from caves, is an intriguing discovery in our study, since it is a potential pathogen of humans and animals. Although a saprophyte in the environment, L. hoffmannii has been associated with human infections resulting in keratitis or subcutaneous abscesses, particularly in immunocompromised patients [89,90].…”

“…These are pleomorphic yeasts, often dematiaceous. C. hoffmannii , C. mutabilis , and C. massiliensis are considered emerging human pathogens causing severe invasive infections [ 76 ]. Identification is carried out using MALDI-TOF MS, and is confirmed using ITS sequencing.…”
