Often, Mucorales fungi are called aseptate. But in reality, they are pauciseptate, which means they do have septations, but its just rare. You can see a perfect example of this in this lung biopsy (pic on R) and the LPCB tape preps (pics on L).

Despite the know limitation of many fungal markers, they are frequently ordered (often repeatedly) in lung transplant recipients. Catherine-Audrey Boutin reviewed the experience NM Pulmonary and Thoracic Surgery Northwestern Medicine Transplant found limited utility of addition of BD glucan.

🔹Now for Stenotrophomonas breakpoints. Changes made by our CLSI working group ( #StenoSquad ) so far
🔹Ceftazidime BP removed
🔹Minocycline BP lowered
