Microbiological air quality in pharmacies and an antibiotic resistance profile of staphylococci species

“…In spring, summer, and autumn Cladosporium species were predominant among molds in the air of the dispensing areas of the investigated pharmacies. Similar results were obtained by Kubera et al 2015 in kindergartens (67.5%). Karimpour et al (2019) noted the dominance of Penicillium spp.…”

“…Microbiological assessment of indoor air quality has become quite common due to the diversity of airborne microorganisms, Air analyses have been conducted in public facilities, workplaces and residential homes, i.e., where people are regularly exposed to microbial contaminants (Augustowska and Dutkiewicz 2006;Brągoszewska and Pastuszka 2018;Brągoszewska et al 2018a, b;Kubera et al 2015;Małecka-Adamowicz et al 2019;Miletto and Lindow 2015).…”

“…Research carried out by Lis et al (2009) confirmed that people connected with the hospital environment (staff, patients and visitors) may contribute to the spread of staphylococci via air. High concentrations of these bacteria were also recorded in kindergartens (Kubera et al 2015), which indicates the possible presence of potentially harmful microorganisms in other public places. Air contamination with staphylococci in the investigated pharmacies was significantly lower than that recorded by Karwowska et al (2013) in a health center in Warsaw, where the concentration of staphylococci ranged from 10 to 305 CFU m -3 .…”

Investigation of air pollutants in rural nursery school – a case study

“…However, the concentrations recorded inside the urban classrooms during the winter season were in some cases almost five times higher [12] than the results obtained in the rural nursery school. Other studies [24] concerning IAQ in two nursery schools in Bydgoszcz, conducted between April and February 2014, reported higher average concentrations of bacteria in the indoor air (3697 CFU/m 3 , range: 1520-7780 CFU/m 3 ) and lower average concentrations in the outdoor air (137 CFU/m 3 , range: 100-180 CFU/m 3 ). Research performed in Ankara, Turkey, underlined that, among indoor urban environments, the highest concentrations of total bacteria aerosols were observed in kindergartens, at 649 and 1462 CFU/m 3 in the winter and summer seasons, respectively [25].…”

Microorganisms As Indoor And Outdoor Air Biological Pollution

“…Therefore the level of air contamination with bacteria is dependent on the number of people inside a room and efficiency of ventilation system [73]. Kubera et al [60] carried out microbiological air quality tests in selected kindergartens. Air samples were collected in classrooms, both in the morning and in the afternoon.…”
