Interpretation of Fungal Culture Results

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2014
Classically, diagnosis of fungal infections is based on microscopic examination coupled with attempts to culture the responsible fungus from a clinical sample. For some fungal infections (such as dermatophyte infections, infections with dimorphic fungi, and blood stream infections with Fusarium, Acremonium and allied genera) recovery of the fungus in ...

Improved Methods for Office Fungal Culture

International Journal of Dermatology, 1982
ABSTRACT: A new screening culture method which can be used as an office fungal culture involves a microculture, where a selective medium (DTM) is used for coating a thin transparent plastic slide. Sampling is performed with a transparent adhesive tape which is pressed on to the surface of the agar and allows daily microscopic examination of the ...

Modified method for fungal slide culture

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1986
A modified slide culture method which combines advantages found in several slide culture methods is described. A block of inoculated nutrient agar sandwiched between two sterile cover glasses is placed in a plastic petri dish containing water agar.

Chronic fungal vaginitis: The value of cultures

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Our purpose was to examine the importance of fungal cultures in evaluating patients with symptoms of chronic vaginitis by assessing the relative contribution of various yeast species and by comparing infections caused by Candida albicans with those caused by other species.A prospective observational study of patients referred with chronic vaginal ...

Improved pH Control of Fungal Culture Media

Mycologia, 1973
A number of fungi grew well in the presence of relatively high concentrations (40 mM) of phosphate and MES [2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid] buffers at either pH 5.5 or 7.0.

The Role of Donor Rim Fungal Cultures

Cornea, 2020
Abstract: Culturing all donor rims for fungus makes no sense. Only 1% of all cultures will be positive, and of those positive cultures, only 6% will also have a clinical infection. Prophylactically treating all positive cultures means 94% of patients will be treated unnecessarily. Fungal cultures do not reliably direct specific

Contaminated Fungal Cultures Owing to Tyrophagus putrescentiae

Archives of Dermatology, 1977
To the Editor.— Acarodermatitis is an occupational disorder caused by the stored-food mites of the families Tyroglyphidae and Pyemotidae. These normally nonpathogenic mites do occasionally cause skin irritations (cheese mite dermatitis, fig mite dermatitis, copra itch, grain itch, grocer's itch), which may become extremely severe, but are self-limited

Fungal and Mycobacterial Blood Cultures

2017
Early and appropriate antimicrobial therapy of sepsis is associated with improved clinical outcomes, and the laboratory identification of the etiological agent of fungemia and/or mycobacteremia is very important for successful outcome. Fungi and some mycobacteria grow more slowly than many common pathogenic bacteria, and specialized broth culture media

Fungal cultures and culture mediums for the production of cellulase

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1973
AbstractCellulase production by strains of Myrothecium verrucaria, Stachybotrys atra and Trichoderma viride was examined. Myrothecium verrucaria was found to give the greatest yields. A variety of media were examined as potential substrates for the industrial production of cellulase.

The Value of Fungal Surveillance Cultures as Predictors of Systemic Fungal Infections

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1980
Fungal surveillance cultures consisting of urine, stool, and respiratory specimens were analyzed from 37 recipients of bone-marrow transplants and 52 patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute leukemia and other hematologic malignancies. All patients had prolonged aplasia.
