Dermatophyte Culture Basic Information Definition Examination of tissue or exudates for presence of fungal organisms Typical Normal Range (US units; SI units) Reported as negative or as heavy, moderate, or light growth of organism along with identification. Culture period may take 1 to 2 weeks prior to report and up to 6 weeks for growth negative cultures. Physiology Laboratory conditions are set to enhance the growth of potential fungal pathogens allowing for their isolation and identification based on their growth characteristics, microscopic structure, and biochemical tests. Causes of Abnormally High Levels Fungal infections. Common equine fungal infections include dermatophytosis (T. equinum, M. gypseum, and M. equinum); aspergillosis (commonly associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections of the cornea). Saprophytes may cause skin lesions and lead to systemic disease in immune-compromised hosts.< div class='tao-gold-member'> Only gold members can continue reading.
