Abstract

Opportunistic fungal infections have been observed with increasing frequency in recent years in immunocompromised patients. Several data were published in the last decade about the clinical importance of the filamentous fungal genus Trichoderma , indicating that Trichoderma strains – besides their agricultural and biotechnological importance – may be potential opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised hosts as well. This review is going to summarize the clinical case reports about Trichoderma infections, and to discuss the information available on the antifungal susceptibility and on the ecophysiological, enzymological and systematic aspects of clinical Trichoderma isolates.
