Isolation and characterization of Cyniclomyces guttulatus (Robin) Van Der Walt and Scott, 1971 in dogs in Brazil.

Vegetative cells of an ascomycetous yeast, morphologically consistent with published descriptions of Cyniclomyces guttulatus, were observed in large numbers in the feces and stomach washes of three dogs with a recurrent medical history characterized by vomiting and diarrhea. Nucleotide sequence analysis of an approximately 600 base pair fragment of the variable D1/D2 domain of large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA of a pure culture, isolated from a Siberian Husky, revealed 98-99 % homology to sequences deposited in the GenBank as C. guttulatus.
