We studied the recovery of 1,270 fungal isolates from 176,144 Isolator blood cultures (0.72% positive) on bacterial and fungal media, under routine and differing incubation conditions. Except with Histoplasma capsulatum, chocolate agar incubated for only 3 days proved to be an excellent medium for the recovery of fungi from the Isolator system.
