R. minuta is a species of clinical importance within the Cystobasidiales. R. minuta was isolated from bronchoscopy specimens and from postoperative endophthalmitis [80]. The genus Rhodotorula, however, is heterogeneous and has representative species at least in three different clades of the Urediniomycetes (Microbotryum, Sporidiobolus and Erythrobasidium clades) [24]. Genotypic methods are necessary to identify a Rhodotorula species unequivocally [208]. 

Rhodotorula glutinis is a common saprophyte on various substrates disseminated cases in patients with compromised innate immunity do occur. Sepsis due to the use of indwelling catheters has repeatedly been reported. The species is also implicated in cases of keratitis and dacryoadenitis [80]. R. mucilaginosa is an additional species of clinical importance [262]. Genotypic methods are necessary to identity these species unequivocally [208]. 

All species of Cryptococcus are nonfermentative aerobes exhibiting a positive urease test, a positive diazonium blue B test, and the presence of extracellular amyloid compounds. Cryptococcus differs from Trichosporon by the presence of capsules and the absence of arthroconidia. Genotypic methods are necessary to identify the species unequivocally [208].
