Comparative analysis of selective fungal culture media and incubation conditions for Aspergillus fumigatus in cystic fibrosis sputum [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Aspergillus fumigatus detection in respiratory samples of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) is important for the diagnosis of Aspergillus-related lung disease. Yet, fungal culture approaches are not standardized for clinical CF respiratory samples.

Validity of Platelia Aspergillus IgG and Aspergillus Precipitin Test To Distinguish Pulmonary Aspergillosis from Colonization

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
When Aspergillus, an ubiquitous, saprophytic fungus, is detected in respiratory tract specimens collected from chronic respiratory disease patients, it is important to determine whether it is a true infection or colonization.
