Scedosporium apiospermum – microscopic morphology [ Graphium type x1000]

France, CHU Angers Parasitologie-Mycologie

Scedosporium apiospermum is responsible for scedosporiosis. The apical part of the Graphium anamorph produces conidia. Erected conidiophores are grouped to form a synnemata (Graphium). Other conidiogenous cells are annelides producing hyaline, cylindric and smaller unicellular spores (5-7 µM x 2-3 µM) .
