The true pathogenic yeasts are organisms of much clinical importance. One species, compensating for its relatively rare occurrence by its extreme virulence, produces systemic diseases which are almost always fatal, while most representatives of the group are significant chiefly for their very wide distribution, and frequent isolation as the causative agents of lesions of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes in man and animals. They are imperfect fungi, lacking any sexual conjugation or spores, and they reproduce by simple budding or the formation of asexual conidia.
