228 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Monilia sidplinrea Vuillemin, Champ. Parasit. Homme 84, 1931, non Persoon. 



Isolated from exudate of pharynx of a woman suffering from a severe 

 ease of typhoid fever. Inoculations negative. 



On carrot, after 5 days at 25° C, cells spherical, occasionally slightly 

 oblong, 2-8/t in diameter. In malt extract (40 days) mycelium branched, 

 septate, 1-4/^ in diameter, often terminating in a swollen budding head. No 

 spores seen on plaster block. In Kaulin's liquid at 26° after 6 days, cells 2.5- 

 5.5/i,; after 36 days, cells 2-4. 5/i, in sediment. Grows at 25° and 37° C. 



On potato, growth good, margin with round denticulations, dirty white, 

 becoming sulphur yellow, the upper portions of colony remaining dirty white 

 and pulverulent. On malt gelatin, colony much wrinkled and prominent. In 

 malt extract after 40 days, appear fioccose masses of mycelium floating and 

 immersed. In carrot juice, sediment in 17 hours. In Raulin's liquid, after 53 

 hours, ring several centimeters high. In malt extract, a very small ring in 23 

 hours and pellicle over surface in 73 hours. Glucose, sucrose, and lactose 

 fermented. Maltose not fermented. Gelatin not liquefied. 



Mycoderma multifermentans (Castellani) Dodge, n. comb. 



Geotrichum multifermentans Castellani, Med. Press Circular 136: 439, 1933; 

 Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 36: 303, 304, 1933. 



Isolated from a case of "blastomycosis." 



Hyphae 2-4/a in diameter, arthrospores and chlamydospores present. 



On glucose agar, growth fluffy, white, grayish white, or grayish brown. 

 No pigmentation of medium on mannitol agar. No fermentation, acid pro- 

 duced on glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, lactose, mannitol, glycerol, 

 inulin, rhamnose, inositol, arabinose, xylose, and dextrin, and after 21 days 

 in all the carbohydrates tried. Litmus milk alkaline, gelatin and serum not 

 liquefied.

 1882; Biol. Centralbl. 2: 569-571, 1882 [DeBoyer & D'Antin, Prog. Med. 9: 

 1025, 1881]. 



Oidium subtile R. Blanchard, in Bouchard, Traite Path. Gen. 2: 839, 6, 



1895. 



Endomyces subtilis Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. ]\Ied. ed. 1, 601, 1910. 



Monilia suhtilis Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 2, 829, 1913. 



Parasaccharomyces suhtilis Froilano de Mello & Gonzaga Fernandes, Arq. 

 Hig. Pat. Exot. 6: 273, 278, 1918. 



Geotrichum suhtile Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med. Sao Paulo 9: 12, 1933. 



Isolated from abscess on thigh and on abdomen. Round ulcers the size of 

 a pea up to four times as large and going even deeper than the corium. 

 Borders sharp, surrounded by a mulberry-red zone. Ulcer covered with crust 

 2-7 mm. thick. Radulescu & Babes inoculated rabbits subcutaneously. Typical 

 ulcerations of disease developed in 3-5 days and were transmitted to other 

 animals. Fungus recovered.
