History

This species was first described in 1998 and was isolated from 25- to 35-million-year-old Dominican amber.[1]

Two subspecies are recognised:

This species has been isolated from cheese,[2] sausages[3] and the skin of healthy wild animals.[4]

This species has been isolated from human clinical material, but its role in pathogenesis has yet to be clarified.[5]
