Air biocontamination in a variety of agricultural industry environments in Egypt: a pilot study

Abstract: Inhalation of airborne microorganisms and organic dust is an occupational concern among workers in agricultural industries. Airborne microorganisms and particulate matter samples were collected from poultry house, flourmill, textile, and food industry sites by use of liquid impinger and gravimetric samplers. Particulate matter concentrations were recorded at median concentrations of 1.56, 1.92, 4.39, and 0.7 mg/m 3 in the occupied poultry house, textile, flourmill, and food indoor working environments, respect… Show more

“…The presence of microorganisms belonging to the mentioned genera in the poultry breeding facilities is confirmed by the results obtained by other authors [5,7,[8][9][10][11]36]. Among the Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Micrococcus and Bacillus were the genera most commonly identified in air of hen buildings [4,5,7,10,12]. Furthermore, Budzińska et al [10] isolated also cocci of the genus Aerococcus, while Dutkiewicz et al [7] detected rod-shaped microbes of the genus Corynebacterium.…”

“…Furthermore, Budzińska et al [10] isolated also cocci of the genus Aerococcus, while Dutkiewicz et al [7] detected rod-shaped microbes of the genus Corynebacterium. In research of Awad et al [4], Vucemilo et al [5], Zucker et al [9], Budzińska et al [10] and Sauter et al [12], microorganisms of genus Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae predominated among Gram-negative bacteria isolated from the air of poultry buildings. In addition, bacteria of genus Acinetobacter constituted high percentage of Gramnegative bacteria isolated by Awad et al [4] and Dutkiewicz et al [7].…”

“…A sedimentation, an open plate technique, and liquid impingement methods (Awad et al 2010;Griffin et al 2010;Yang and Heinsohn 2007) were employed for qualitative and quantitative isolation of airborne fungi and bacteria. Each sampling times, 324 petri plates (18 for each sample, 6 for each medium) containing Blood, MacConkey, and Sabouraud Dextrose agar (Difco) were used to obtain Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and microfungi, respectively.…”
