Aspergillus section Nigri is a taxonomically difficult but medically and economically important group. In this study, an update of the taxonomy of A. section Nigri strains within the BCCM/IHEM collection has been conducted. The identification accuracy of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was tested and the antifungal susceptibilities of clinical isolates were evaluated. A total of 175 strains were molecularly analyzed. Three regions were amplified (ITS, benA, and caM) and a multi-locus phylogeny of the combined loci was created by using maximum likelihood analysis. The in-house MALDI-TOF MS reference database was extended and an identification data set of 135 strains was run against a reference data set. Antifungal susceptibility was tested for voriconazole, itraconazole, and amphotericin B, using the EUCAST method. Phylogenetic analysis revealed 18 species in our data set. MALDI-TOF MS was able to distinguish between A. brasiliensis, A. brunneoviolaceus, A. neoniger, A. niger, A. tubingensis, and A. welwitschiae of A. sect. Nigri. In the routine clinical lab, isolates of A. sect. Nigri are often identified as A. niger. However, in the clinical isolates of our data set, A. tubingensis (n = 35) and A. welwitschiae (n = 34) are more common than A. niger (n = 9). Decreased antifungal susceptibility to azoles was observed in clinical isolates of the /tubingensis clade. This emphasizes the importance of identification up to species level or at least up to clade level in the clinical lab. Our results indicate that MALDI-TOF MS can be a powerful tool to replace classical morphology.
