REPRODUCTION Flashcards
- Thick-walled resistant spores formed by Candida species
- Produce by rounding up and enlargement of hyphal segments
CHLAMYDOSPORES
- Large, spindle-shaped or club-shaped
- exospore
MACROCONIDIA
- Smaller than macro
- Round, elliptical, pyriform, tear-shaped
MICROCONIDIA
Fungi that require keratin for growth
- can cause superficial infection of the skin, nails, and hair
