Identification of a mould of the Scedosporium genus isolated from milk of a cow with mastitis

Abstract

This case report presents the basic parameters that led to the identification of a mould from the genus Scedosporium, isolated from mastitic cow’s milk. The macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the isolate and the result of the identification by MALDITOF mass spectrometry are given. As this is the first report on the identification of Scedosporium in the Balkan region, the data could be useful for laboratories in the region working with materials of animal origin
