“…racemosum'' was recovered from onychomycosis, but the identity of this strain could not be verified and no GenBank accession or reference collection is linked to the isolate [48]. Nannizzia nana was originally reported from pigs causing chronic circular lesions on their ears [49,50]. Human infections in the form of tinea capitis and tinea corporis occur through direct contact with the infected animals [51][52][53].…”

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.
