NCIt definition : A genus of slow growing, filamentous and cosmopolitan fungi within the phylum Ascomycota.
Members of this genus produce hyaline, septate hyphae, whereas vegetative hyphae form
hyphal ropes. Phialides are unbranched, solitary and erect, and form directly on the
hyphal tips, the hyphal ropes, or both. Some species within the Acremonium genus are
opportunistic pathogens and may cause mycetoma, onychomycosis, and hyalohyphomycosis
in humans.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Any fungal organism that is not assigned to the species level but can be assigned
to the Acremonium genus level.;
