Microbiota fúngica dos filtros do condicionador de ar e de superfícies em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva

Abstract: <p class="Normal1">Nos últimos anos, as infecções fúngicas em ambiente hospitalar têm se tornado uma grande preocupação de saúde pública, especialmente em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI’s). Nestes setores, condicionadores de ar e superfícies adjacentes ao paciente, podem representar potenciais fontes de infecções, afetando principalmente pacientes imunocomprometidos. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar a microbiota fúngica dos filtros do condicionador de ar e de superfícies em uma UTI de um hos… Show more

“…Yeasts were identified through a morphological analysis of colonies on ASD and microscopic analysis using the microculture technique on Corn Meal Agar. The results were correlated with assimilation and fermentation tests of carbon and nitrogen sources (Zaitz et al, 2010;Calumby et al, 2022b).…”

“…Trichoderma spp. has been mentioned as an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients, especially in association with risk factors such as peritoneal dialysis, organ transplantation, chronic kidney disease, chronic pulmonary diseases, and hematological disorders (Oliveira et al, 2016;Calumby et al, 2022). At least nine species of this genus are associated with infections, ranging from allergic sinusitis, keratitis, and otitis to superficial and subcutaneous infections, peritonitis, endocarditis, cerebral abscess, and deep lung infection (Sandoval-Denis et al, 2014).…”

“…These characteristics were compared to the criteria adopted by Hoog et al (2000), Lacaz et al (2002), Sidrim andRocha (2010), andZaitz et al (2010). For better identification and visualization of filamentous fungal structures, microcultures were performed on slides using Lactrimel agar to stimulate sporulation (Calumby et al, 2022).…”

“…A forma principal de propagação dos fungos é através do ar, desta forma, esses microrganismos possuem uma capacidade de propagação elevada com uma taxa de colonização que pode variar de acordo com determinadas superfícies e habitats (Calumby et al, 2022). As micoses sistêmicas são infecções contraídas através da inalação de propágulos de fungos que podem acabar lesionando, por exemplo, o tecido pulmonar (Cavalcante, Campos, De Lima, 2024).…”
