ジャーナル Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis
Abstract Infection with Trichosporon asahii is a major cause of deep-seated and disseminated trichosporonosis, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Disseminated trichosporonosis in individuals with no underlying disease has not been reported. In this study, we report the identification of the first isolate of Trichosporon asahii var. asahii in China. Two isolates were obtained from the liver and skin of a patient with disseminated trichosporonosis who displayed no evidence of underlying disease. The morphologic and physiologic characteristics of the two isolates differed slightly from those of usual strains of T. asahii var. asahii, including the type strain CBS 2479. Ubiquinone-9 was identified as the major ubiquinone in both isolates. Sequence analysis of the LSUrDNA D1/D2, ITS, and IGS1 regions from the two isolates showed them to be T. asahii var. asahii, and random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis strongly suggested that they were the same strain.
