“…Geotrichum spp. isolates have been obtained from various parts of the body (3-6), and those from the oral flora account for as much as 30% of healthy individuals (26,27); compared with this figure, our isolation rates were lower (2.8% and 6.33%). A recent study by Goncalves et al (24) of colonization in diabetic patients (treated with insulin) found that Geotrichum spp.…”

Oral geotrichosis is an uncommonopportunistic infection caused by Geotrichum candidum, a habitual contaminant and component of the flora of various parts of the body. This communication reports both a 20-year retrospective study of clinically and mycologically proven cases of oral geotrichosis, and a prospective study of fungal oral flora in 200 individuals divided into two groups: normal individuals and individuals with associated conditions. Twelve patients with proven oral geotrichosis were included: 9 females and 3 males, with a mean age of 48.5 years; the associated conditions were diabetes mellitus (66.6%), leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and HIV/AIDS infection. The oral geotrichoses showed three clinical varieties: pseudomembranous (75%), hyperplastic, and palatine ulcer. G. candidum was isolated in 11 cases and G. capitatum in one. Positive fungal cultures were obtained from the two groups, and 48% and 78% of cultures were positive, respectively, for Candida spp. In 2.8% and 6.33% of the cases, G. candidum was isolated, respectively, together with one strain of G. capitatum. Oral geotrichosis is an exceptional infection that clinically presents, and is treated, as oral candidiasis. G. candidum may be isolated from the oral flora of a small proportion of patients, either normal individuals or those with associated conditions. (J Oral Sci 52, 477-483, 2010)

“…Stachybotrys chartarum also produces mycotoxins, and they were proved potentially pathogenic to human welfare. Lecythophora species were reported are pathogen [39] and Geotrichum species revealed pathogenic [40,27]. Some species of Paecilomyces were also well known pathogen [41].…”

Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organism, including both single-celled yeasts and multi-cellular filamentous fungi which can survive in oligotrophic environments, also called recyclers of organic material. The diversity spectrum and identification method of fungi are reviewed in such order that is adapted to aquatic ecosystem as well as their contribution to the environment and significant to human welfare.
