Abstract

We compared the efficiency of Czapeck agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar irradiated to detect Aspergillus conidia in air. Both media were equally suitable. Czapeck agar should be used in institutions interested only in Aspergillus surveys, and Sabouraud agar should be used in those institutions interested in all sorts of filamentous fungi.
