Frequency of isolation of fungal species from respiratory samples of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients when culturing sputum samples on Sabouraud gentamicin chloramphenicol agar and Modified Thayer Martin agar or Sabouraud chloramphenicol cycloheximide agar for the selective recovery of Scedosporium species from these polymicrobial samples. The circle depicts the general prevalence of Aspergillus spp., Scedosporium/Lomentospora and Candida spp., as well as the frequency of patients with negative cultures for these fungi: 31.43%, 11.43%, 51.43%, and 36.19%, respectively. Moreover, the species-specific prevalence is represented within the boxes.
