Fusarium on Culture and Microscopy Collecting a sample for culture from the eye is never fun, but a positive fungal culture from an eye = even less so.

Plates can grow white & fluffy and *some* (not all) are bright pink! Rich Davis, PhD, D(ABMM), MLS @richdavisphd #Fusarium #Culture #Microscopy #clinical #microbiology
