Trichosporon asahii is the most clinically important pathogenic yeast in the genus Trichosporon, as this species causes both deep-seated infection and summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis. We isolated 29 T. asahii colonies from environmental samples using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and dichloran rose bengal chloramphenicol (DRBC) medium. Our results suggest that T. asahii is common in nature.
