Number of tissue specimens, DNA-extraction procedures, age and underlying diagnosis highly influence yield and are critical to understand yield differences of Pneumocystis among reports of pulmonary colonization in immunocompetent individuals.6921741engINFANT-DEATH-SYNDROMEF-SP HOMINISGENERAL-POPULATIONCARINII-PNEUMONIAJIROVECII DNACOLONIZATIONINFECTIONMicrobiology (medical)Infectious DiseasesSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingreview10.1007/s10096-017-3006-8https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85020196995
