Stachybotrys eucylindrospora isolated from foreign material following a traumatic eye injury

Abstract

Stachybotrys eucylindrospora was characterised as a new species in 2007, and we present the first report of this organism isolated from foreign material recovered from a patient. It is probable that isolates of this species have been previously identified as either Stachybotrys chartarum or Stachybotrys cylindrospora.

Keywords: Stachybotrys; Stachybotrys eucylindrospora; phylogenetic analysis.
