Cladosporium

Nomenclature and Source-Label Boundary#

The nomenclatural recommendation connects the type species through the sexual morph: Davidiella tassiana was described for the sexual state of Cladosporium herbarum, making the generic names synonyms for current editorial purposes.^{[3]Recommended names for pleomorphic genera in DothideomycetesAuthor information pending · 2015Open reference 3 ↓}

Historical articles may nevertheless print “Davidiella,” and WikiBiome preserves that wording when reporting what a source measured. Canonicalization does not retroactively establish a species-level assignment for an older amplicon label.

aluminum (Al) Bataineh and colleagues reported “Unclassified Davidiella” among the fungal labels increased in 25 adults with type 2 diabetes compared with 25 controls in their Emirati pilot cohort.^{[4]Al Bataineh 2020 — Gut Microbiome and Fungal Community in Type 2 Diabetes in Emirati SubjectsMohammad Tahseen Al Bataineh, Nihar Ranjan Dash, Pierre Bel Lassen et al. · 2020Open reference 4 ↓}

That source-era label is linked to the current Cladosporium record for traceability, but the study's unmatched age, body-mass index, diet, and treatment context precludes a causal conclusion, and the unclassified result should not be read as a resolved species identification.

Reported Mycobiome Contexts#

Other cited surveys and reviews use the current name Cladosporium in oral, gut, and broader human mycobiome contexts, including hypertension and chronic kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, schizophrenia, and neurological-disease literature.^{[5]Gut mycobiome dysbiosis contributes to the development of hypertension and its response to immunoglobulin light chainsYeqing Zou, Anxing Ge, Brako Lydia et al. · 2022Open reference 5 ↓[6]Exploring the gut mycobiome: differential composition and clinical associations in hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and their comorbidityJuan Qiu, Longyou Zhao, Yiwen Cheng et al. · 2023Open reference 6 ↓[7]Exploring the Mycobiota in Multiple Sclerosis: Its Influence on Disease Development and ProgressionAne Otaegui-Chivite, Miriam Gorostidi-Aicua, Laura Martins-Almeida et al. · 2025Open reference 7 ↓[8]Gut Bacteriome, Mycobiome and Virome Alterations in Rheumatoid ArthritisDagar S, Singh J, Saini A et al. · 2023Open reference 8 ↓[9]The mycobiome in human cancer: analytical challenges, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic implicationsTing Ding, Chang Liu, Zhengyu Li · 2025Open reference 9 ↓[10]Oral mycobiota and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaAilin Wei, Huiling Zhao, Xue Cong et al. · 2022Open reference 10 ↓[11]Ling 2025 — Gut Mycobiota Dysbiosis and Systemic Immune Dysfunction in Chinese Schizophrenia Patients with Metabolic SyndromeZongxin Ling, Yiwen Cheng, Zhiyong Lan et al. · 2025Open reference 11 ↓[12]A Fungal World: Could the Gut Mycobiome Be Involved in Neurological Disease?Jessica D.

These records support reported detection or differential abundance in their stated cohorts; they do not by themselves establish persistent colonization, causation, pathogenicity, or a genus-wide metal requirement.
