Abstract

Fusarium riograndense sp. nov., was isolated from the nasal cavity of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in South Brazil.The etiological agent was identified by Multilocus Sequencing Typing (MLST), including RPB2, TEF-1α and ITS-LSU sequences, the gold standard to identify new species of Fusarium. MLST and phenotypic data strongly supported its inclusion in the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC). The new species produced a red pigment in the Sabouraud Dextrose Agar similar to other members of the complex. The macroconidia arising from sporodochia are falcate, dorsiventral, 3?4-septated (mostly 3-septated), with pointed, tapered, and curved apical cell. The microconidia are oval and reniform, without septa. In vitro Amphotericin B (MIC 1 ?g/ml) was the most active drug, followed by voriconazole (MIC 8 ?g/ml), which cured the infection. Our finding indicates yet another lineage within FSSC capable of invastive human infection.
