Sagenomella keratitidis is a hyphomycete discovered as its own species in 2008 by Sung-Yaon Hsieh et al. at the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology and the National Taiwan University Hospital.

[1] S. keratitidis has very slow growth on a range of cultures, making experiments involving isolation and purification very difficult.

[1] S. keratitidis may superficially resemble another member of its genus,S.humicola, under a microscope, but can be distinguished from S.humicola because of its extremely slow growth and lack of chlamydospores.

[1] The species of genus Sagenomella generally grow between the temperatures of 20-23 °C on malt extract agar, and are known for their slow growth.

[5] Canine S.chlamydospora infections can cause the animal to limp, experience pain in its spine, and feel a general lack of energy.

[5] S. keratitidis is a human eye pathogen, unlike its other genus counterparts, whose habitat is either soil, manure, or fodder.
