title: A comparison of media for the enumeration of filamentous fungi from aqueduct biofilm.
abstract: Six media (Czapek, Martin's, Mycological, Nutrient, Sabouraud Dextrose and Sabouraud Maltose), were evaluated for their ability to recover filamentous fungi from aqueduct biofilm. Average filamentous fungal levels detected by the six media ranged from 46-250 CFU/cm2 of biofilm. Of the media tested, Nutrient, Czapek and Sabouraud Dextrose provided the highest relative recoveries.
