Cladophialophora

Dematiaceous hyphomycete forming branched acropetel chains of conidia without a distinctive hilum.. Descriptions are provided for the following two human pathogens.

Cladophialophora bantiana

This fungus is neurotropic and may cause brain abscess and subcutaneous lesions in both normal and immunosuppressed patients. Soil fungus with world-wide distribution.

Cladophialophora carrionii.
