list of who fungal priority pathogens list of who fungal priority pathogens who fungal priority pathogens are groups of pathogenic fungi that the world health organization deems in need of global attention. the list has three priority groups. in decreasing order of concern, they are: critical, high, and medium. critical group cryptococcus neoformans candida auris aspergillus fumigatus candida albicans cryptococcus neoformans candida auris aspergillus fumigatus candida albicans high group nakaseomyces glabrata (formerly candida glabrata) histoplasma spp. histoplasma capsulatum histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum histoplasma duboisii histoplasma muris eumycetoma causative agents, including: acremonium falciform acremonium kiliense acremonium recifei aspergillus flavus aspergillus nidulans cladophialophora bantiana cladophialophora mycetomatis curvularia geniculata curvularia lunata cylindrocarpon cyanescens exophiala jeanselmei falciformispora senegalensis fusarium moniliforme fusarium solani glenospora clapieri leptosphaeria senegalensis leptosphaeria tompkinsii madurella grisea madurella mycetomatis microsporum audouinii microsporum canis neotestudina rosatii phaeoacremonium parasiticum phialophora cyanescens phialophora verrucosa pseudoallescheria boydii (scedosporium apiospermum) pyrenochaeta mackinonii pyrenochaeta romeroi trichophyton rubrum zopfia rosatii mucorales includes 13 families, 56 genera, 300 species fusarium spp. see list of fusarium species candida tropicalis candida parapsilosis nakaseomyces glabrata histoplasma capsulatum histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii acremonium falciforme aspergillus flavus aspergillus nidulans cladophialophora bantiana curvularia geniculata curvularia lunata fusarium solani madurella grisea madurella mycetomatis microsporum audouinii microsporum canis phialophora verrucosa pseudoallescheria boydii trichophyton rubrum candida tropicalis medium group scedosporium spp., including: scedosporium americanum scedosporium apiospermum scedosporium aurantiacum scedosporium boydii scedosporium cereisporum scedosporium deficiens scedosporium dehoogii scedosporium desertorum scedosporium magalhaesii scedosporium minutisporum scedosporium prolificans scedosporium rarisporum scedosporium sanyaense lomentospora prolificans coccidioides spp., including: coccidioides immitis coccidioides posadasii pichia kudriavzeveii (formerly candida krusei) cryptococcus gattii talaromyces marneffei pneumocystis jirovecii paracoccidioides spp., including: paracoccidioides americana paracoccidioides brasiliensis paracoccidioides cerebriformis paracoccidioides ceti paracoccidioides lutzii paracoccidioides restrepoana paracoccidioides venezuelensis scedosporium prolificans lomentospora prolificans coccidioides immitis pichia kudriavzeveii cryptococcus gattii talaromyces marneffei pneumocystis jirovecii paracoccidioides brasiliensis paracoccidioides lutzii
