IMVS Mycology Culture Collection

The IMVS Mycology Collection contains over 10,000 isolates of medically important fungi (yeasts and moulds). Most isolates are from human infections, but many isolates of animal origin are also held. Yeasts include a large collection of Candida and Cryptococcus (both environmental and clinical) species. The collection contains isolates of most human pathogenic mould species, including Dermatophytes, Aspergillus, Scedosporium, Fusarium, Paecilomyces, black moulds like Bipolaris, Exophiala, Cladophialophora, and zygomycetes like Rhizopus, to name a few.
