Isolation of fungal communities and identification of Scedosporium species complex with pathogenic potentials from a pigsty in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand

In conclusion, our findings contribute towards a better understanding of soil-borne pathogenic fungi in the pigsty. The isolation of Scedosporium species with pathogenic potentials in the present study can be beneficial for the management of public health surveillance, epidemiologists, as well as physicians to reduce the risk of soil fungal contamination among pigsty workers.PMID:33582822
