By Hamza Mbareche, Quebec City, Département de Biochimie, Université Laval
| American Society for Microbiology (ASM)
Microbial Ecology Hamza Mbareche, Marc Veillette, Wieke Teertstra, Willem Kegel, Guillaume J. Bilodeau, Han A. B. Wösten, Caroline Duchaine Emma R. Master, Editor DOI: 10.1128/AEM.02941-18 ABSTRACT There are limitations in establishing a direct link between fungal exposure and health effects due to the methodology used, among other reasons. Culture methods ignore the nonviable/uncultivable fraction of airborne fungi.

Bioaerosol Sampler Choice Should Consider Efficiency and Ability of Samplers To Cover Microbial Diversity

|
By Hamza Mbareche, Quebec City, Département de Biochimie, Université Laval
| American Society for Microbiology (ASM)
ABSTRACT Bioaerosol studies aim to describe the microbial content and increase understanding of the aerosolization processes linked to diseases. Air samplers are used to collect, identify, and quantify bioaerosols. Studies comparing the performances of air samplers have typically used a culture approach or have targeted a specific microorganism in laboratory settings.
