  • Title: Detection of occult Scedosporium species in respiratory tract specimens from patients with cystic fibrosis by use of selective media.
    Author: Blyth CC, Harun A, Middleton PG, Sleiman S, Lee O, Sorrell TC, Meyer W, Chen SC.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2010 Jan; 48(1):314-6. PubMed ID: 19906904.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory samples from cystic fibrosis outpatients were cultured on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SABD) containing antibiotics, Mycosel, and Scedosporium-selective medium (SceSel+). Thirty-two (14.7%) of 218 specimens from 11/69 (15.9%) patients yielded a Scedosporium sp., most frequently Scedosporium aurantiacum (17/218). Scedosporium was recovered on SceSel+, Mycosel, and SABD from 90.6%, 50.0%, and 46.9% of the specimens tested, respectively.
