Trichosporon – Experience with Species Identification of HumanIsolates
Trichosporon – skúsenosti s druhovou identifikáciouhumánnych izolátov
Spomedzi 162 humánnych izolátov rodu Trichosporon autorka podľa „kľúčových“ znakov (Guého etal. 1992, 1994) identifikovala ako dominantné T. mucoides (41 %) a T. asahii (33 %). Druhy T. inkin,T. ovoides a aj nepatogénny T. pullulans boli v sledovanom súbore zriedkavé. Do pôvodne najčastejšie uvádzaného druhu T. cutaneum patrilo menej než 10 % z celkového počtu izolátov. Variabilnosť fyziologických a biochemických znakov nedovolila presné zaradenie 5 % izolovaných kmeňovTrichosporon. Diskovou difúznou metódou sa potvrdila rezistencia testovaných kmeňov voči 5-fluorocytozínu a inhibícia polyénovými a azolovými antimykotikami.

Overview
Among 162 human isolates of Trichosporon the author isolated according to „crucial“ signs (Guéhoet al. 1992, 1994) the following as dominant: T. mucoides (41%) and T. asahii (33%), T. inkin, T. ovoidesand others as well as non-pathogenic T. pullulans were rare in their investigation. To the originallymost frequently reported type T. cutaneum belonged less than 10% of the total number of isolates.The variability of physiological and biological signs did not make classification of 5% isolatedTrichosporon strains possible. The disc diffusion method confirmed resistance of the tested strainsto 5-fluorocytosine, and inhibition by polyenie and azole antimycotics.
Key words:
Trichosporon – human isolates – identification – new criteria.
