Neosartorya pseudofischeri explained
Neosartorya pseudofischeri is a fungus first isolated at an autopsy from a fungal lesion occurring in human neck vertebrae. Its ascospore morphology was identical to that of Aspergillus thermomutatus.[1]
Neosartorya species are the sexual states (teleomorph) of Aspergillus species, notably the Aspergillus fumigatus group among others.[2]
