Three species of Beauveria are recognised, two of which are well known parasites of insects. B. bassiana is the most common species and is best known as the causal agent of the disastrous muscardine in silkworms.
rare human cases of keratitis have been reported (Lara Oya et al., 2016).

C, downy, at first white but later often becoming yellow to pinkish with age. The genus Beauveria is
characterised by the sympodial development of single-celled conidia (ameroconidia) on a geniculate or zig-zag rachis. Conidiogenous cells are flask-shaped, rachiform, proliferating sympodially and are often aggregated into sporodochia or synnemata. Conidia are hyaline and globose or ovoid in shape (Fig. 12.1).

Bipolaris cynodontis and B. papendorfii have been isolated from clinical samples (da Cunha et al., 2012a). However recent phylogenetic studies have transferred all the well-documented human pathogens, notably B.australiensis, B. hawaiiensis and B. spicifera to the genus Curvularia (Manamgoda et al., 2012). Other reported clinical isolates include Curvularia micropus (formerly Bipolaris micropus) and Cochliobolus setariae (formerly Bipolaris setariae).
RG-1 organisms
Morphological description: Colonies are moderately fast growing, effuse, grey to blackish-brown, suede-like to floccose with a black reverse. Microscopic morphology shows sympodial development of pale brown pigmented, distoseptate conidia on a geniculate or zig-zag rachis. Conidia mostly curved, canoe-shaped, fusoid or obclavate, rarely straight, 2-14 distoseptate (usually more than 6), germinating only from the ends (bipolar).
Key features: Darkly pigmented mould producing sympodial, distoseptate, pale brown, straight, fusiform to ellipsoidal conidia, which are rounded at both ends.
Comments: The genera Drechslera, Bipolaris, Curvularia and Exserohilum are all closely related and mor- phological differentiation of the genera relies upon a combination of characters including conidial shape, the presence or absence of a protruding hilum, the contour of the basal portion of the conidium and its hilum, the point at which the germ tube originates from the basal cell and, to a lesser degree, the sequence and loca­tion of the first three conidial septa. However, Manamgoda et al. (2012) reported no clear morphological distinction between the genera Bipolaris and Curvularia and some species have intermediate morphologies between the two genera. These authors recommend using a combined ITS and GAPDH sequence analysis for definitive identification of species (Manamgoda et al., 2012, 2014).
Molecular identification: ITS sequencing may be used to identify clinical species (da Cunha et al., 2012a). GAPDH (Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been determined to be the optimal phylogenetic marker of Bipolaris species (Manamgoda et al., 2012, 2014).

Blastomyces contains a number of pathogenic species, most notably Blastomyces dermatitidis and Blastomyces gilchristii, which are morphologically identical but distinguishable by sequence analysis of the
ITS region (Brown et al., 2013). These are associated with soil and decaying organic matter such as leaves and wood in North America. Blastomyces percursus and B. emzantsi have been identified from a culture repository in South Africa (Dukik et al., 2017; Jiang et al., 2018; Maphanga et al., 2020). In addition, Blastomyces helices and B. parvus have been transferred to this genus from Emmonsia (Peterson and Sigler, 1998; Jiang et al., 2018). These are the causative agents of blastomycosis a chronic granulomatous and sup­purative disease, having a primary pulmonary stage that is frequently followed by dissemination to other body sites, typically the skin and bone.

Cultures of Blastomyces species represent a biohazard to laboratory personnel and must be handled in a Class II Biological safety cabinet (BSCII).
14.1. Blastomyces dermatitidis Gilchrist & Stokes
Morphological description: Colonies grown at 25oC are variable in morphology and rate of growth. They may grow rapidly, producing a fluffy white mycelium or slowly as glabrous, tan, non-sporulating colonies. Growth and sporulation may be enhanced by yeast extract. Most strains become pleomorphic with age. Microscopically, hyaline, ovoid to pyriform, one-celled, smooth-walled conidia (2-10 μm in diameter) of the
Chrysosporium type, are borne on short lateral or terminal hyphal branches (Fig. 14.1).
Blastomyces species are dimorphic fungi and colonies on blood agar at 37
glabrous and yeast-like. Microscopically, the organism produces the characteristic yeast phase as seen in tis­sue pathology.
Comment: In the past, conversion from the mould to the yeast form was necessary to positively identify this dimorphic pathogen from species of Chrysosporium or Sepedonium. However, identification by molecular methods is preferred to minimise manipulation of the fungus.
Histopathology: Blastomyces dermatitidis tissue sections show large, thick-walled, broad-based, unipolar budding yeast-like cells, which may vary in size from 8-15 μm, with some larger forms up to 30 μm in diam­eter. Tissue sections need to be stained by Grocott-Gomori’s methenamine silver method to clearly see the yeast-like cells, which are often difficult to observe in haematoxylin and eosin preparations (Fig. 14.2).

The genus Candida is characterised by globose to elongate yeast-like cells or blastoconidia that reproduce by narrow-based multilateral budding. Pseudohyphae and occasionally true hyphae may also be present. Colony pigmentation is usually absent. Ballistoconidia are not formed. Arthroconidia may be formed, but not extensively. Sexual reproduction is absent. Glucose may be fermented. Nitrate may be assimilated. Starch-like compounds are not produced. The diazonium blue B reaction is negative.
The genus is highly polyphyletic, as it comprises mitosporic species that are devoid of special distinguishing
features (Lachance et al., 2011). Accordingly, several taxonomic rearrangements have been made and many well-known Candida species have been moved to other genera, notably Pichia kudriavzevii (formerly Candida krusei), Meyerozyma guilliermondii (formerly Candida guilliermondii), Clavispora lusitaniae (for­merly Candida lusitaniae), Kluyveromyces marxianus (formerly Candida kefyr), Diutina catenulata (formerly
Candida catenulata), Diutina rugosa (formerly Candida rugosa) and Wickerhamomyces anomalus (formerly Candida pelliculosa). Candida glabrata and C. parapsilosis are recognised as species complexes (Alcoba-
Florez et al., 2005; Tavanti et al., 2005; Correia et al., 2006).
Several species may be aetiological agents, most commonly Candida albicans, followed by C. glabrata,
C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis and Pichia kudriavzevii. Altogether, these five species account for >95% of human infections. However, a number of other species may also be isolated. All are ubiquitous and occur naturally on humans.
Morphological identification: Ensure that you start with a fresh growing pure culture, streak for single colony isolation if necessary (Fig. 15.1) (Kurtzman et al., 2011).

from non-sterile sites. Depending on the brand of chromogenic media presumptive identification of C. albi­cans, C. tropicalis, C. auris and P. kudriavzevii is possible. CHROMagar™ Candida (and Candida Plus)
(CHROMagar, Paris, France) is particularly useful for the detection of mixed infections (Fig. 15.2).

Germ tube test: A rapid screening test for Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis. 0.5 mL of serum, containing 0.5% glucose, is lightly inoculated with the test organism and incubated at 35

C for 2-3 hours.
On microscopy, the production of germ tubes by the cells is presumptive for Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis (Fig. 15.3).
Dalmau plate culture: To set up a yeast morphology plate, dip a flamed sterilised straight wire into a culture to make a light inoculum and then lightly scratch the wire into the surface of a cornmeal/Tween 80, rice/ Tween 80 or yeast morphology agar plate, then place a flamed coverslip onto the agar surface covering the scratches. Dalmau morphology plates are examined in situ directly under the lower power of a microscope for the presence of pseudohyphae which may take up to 4-5 days at 26

C to develop. Candida albicans also
produces characteristic large, round, terminal, thick-walled vesicles (chlamydospores). For best results a light inoculum should be scratched into the agar surface using a wire (Fig. 15.4).

Physiological and biochemical tests: Fermentation and assimilation studies should be performed based on those used at the Westerdijk Biodiversity Institute (formerly known as the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures) (Kurtzman et al., 2011). Several yeast identification systems are commercially available, for example the API 20C AUX (bioMerieux, Marcy-l’Etoile, France, ID 32C (bioMerieux), YT MicroPlate (Biolog, Hayward, California), AuxaColor 2 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California) and Vitek 2 ID-YST (bioMerieux). However, they can only be used to identify those species in their respective databases and may misidentify many uncommon or new yeasts, including Candida auris. Other supplementary tests include growth at 37
