What does the Cladosporium species test measure?

Cladosporium species (Cladosporium spp.) is a clinical biomarker used in environmental-mould assessment. Cladosporium is one of the most abundant outdoor mould genera and is commonly found indoors on damp surfaces, textiles, and ventilation systems. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Cladosporium species?

Cladosporium is one of the most abundant outdoor mould genera and is commonly found indoors on damp surfaces, textiles, and ventilation systems. It grows across a wide range of temperatures and moisture conditions and is a frequent sensitiser in atopic individuals.

Why is Cladosporium species measured?

Because Cladosporium is ubiquitous outdoors, indoor detection must be interpreted relative to outdoor levels. Indoor concentrations significantly exceeding outdoor levels suggest moisture problems or ventilation deficiencies. It is a common trigger of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
