title: Identification of Exophiala mesophila isolated from treated dental unit waterlines.
abstract: Members of the genus Exophiala are often difficult to identify to the species level because of their variable morphological appearances. This paper describes the methods used to identify Exophiala mesophila and provides salient differential features for distinguishing other mesophilic members of the genus.
