Abstract
A minor outbreak of culture-proved cutaneous sporotrichosis occurred in 3 employees of a commercial nursery in eastern Minnesota, USA. All 3 had known exposure to sphagnum moss used for the packing of plant roots. Sporothrix schenkiii was grown from a culture of sphagnum moss used at the nursery. The supplier of the moss is located in Wisconsin, USA.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
