Abstract
Keratinomyces ajelloi was first described in 1952 by Vanbreuseghem1, who isolated it from soil by means of a technique2 which consists of placing hair on the surface of the soil in a Petri dish as ‘bait’ for keratinophilic fungi. Since this original isolation, the fungus has been reported many times and is clearly a common inhabitant of soil and of widespread distribution.
