Aspergillosis is one of the most common opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised and neutropenic patients. Aspergillus fumigatus ( A. fumigatus ) is the most common causative agent of this infection. Due to variable CO 2 concentrations that pathogens are exposed to during the infection process and to understand the role of CO 2 , we examined the effects of various CO 2 concentrations as one of the environmental factors on morphological changes and induction of antifungal resistance in A. fumigatus .
