Saprochaete/Magnusiomyces: identification, virulence factors, and antifungal susceptibility of a challenging rare yeast.

Saprochaete/Magnusiomyces is among rare yeasts which might emerge as causes of breakthrough infections and nosocomial outbreaks. Identification to the species level might be a challenge in clinical laboratories. Data on virulence factors are scarce and antifungal susceptibility testing methodology is not definite.
