A global collection of Cladophialophora carrionii strains (n = 81) was tested against nine antifungal drugs. MIC90s of all strains were as follows in increasing order: itraconazole and posaconazole, 0.063 μg/ml; terbinafine, 0.125 μg/ml; isavuconazole and voriconazole, 0.25 μg/ml; caspofungin, 2 μg/ml; micafungin, 4 μg/ml; amphotericin B, 8 μg/ml; and fluconazole, 64 μg/ml.

Chromoblastomycosis (CBM), a prevalent subcutaneous mycosis in tropical and subtropical regions caused by dematiaceous fungi, often presents as refractory lesions. This case report details a 63-year-old woman from Tianjin, China, with CBM caused by Cladophialophora carrionii after plant trauma. Successful treatment with itraconazole was performed.

Globally, there is a growing concern about tree mortality due to harsh climates and changes in pest and disease patterns. However, experimental studies on the interactions between biotic and abiotic stresses in plants are relatively scarce. In this study, we investigated the interaction between Fusarium solani and water-stressed Dalbergia sissoo saplings.

Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic fungal infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by brown pigmented fungi. Fonsecaea monophora is one of the most common pathogens of CBM in China. Most formal cases have been reported from Southern China, however, the infection is not uncommon in Eastern China where very few case series are available.
