Scedosporium prolificans is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes a wide variety of infections in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed people and animals. Originally named Lomentospora prolificans in 1974, it was transferred to the genus Scedosporium in 1991. It is resistant to mo...
