Abstract
We analyzed the exoantigens of 54 isolates belonging to the pathogenic Cladosporium species. Cladophialophora ajelloi was found to be antigenically identical to Cladosporium carrionii. All human and cat isolates of C. bantianum and C. trichoides were found to share the same antigens. Although cross-reactions were observed among the four species of Cladosporium: C. carrionii, C. bantianum, C. herbarum, and C. cladosporioides they were identified and differentiated specifically with four monospecific factor sera obtained through absorption procedures. The exoantigen serologic procedure also permitted us to identify cultures of these four Cladosporium spp. within 8 days. Nous avons analysé les exoanatigènes de 54 souches de Cladosporium pathogènes. Cladophilalophora ajelloi est antigéniquement identique à Cladosporium carrionii. Toutes les souches humaines ou félines de C. bantianum et C. trichoides partagent les mêmes antigènes. Bien que des réactions croisées soient observées parmi les 4 espèces de Cladosporium: C. carrionii, C. bantianum, C. herbarum et C. cladosporioides elles sont identifiées et différentiées spécifiquement avec 4 sérums présentant un facteur monospécifique, obtenu par absorption. La méthode sérologique de l'exoantigène nous a aussi permis di'identifier des cultures de ces 4 Cladosporium spp en 8 jours.Keywords
