Resumo(s)
Fungi cause a range of diseases in humans including allergic syndromes and severe fungal infections, such as acute invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients. Azole resistance is an increasing problem in the management of fungal diseases. Detection of azole-resistant colonies amongst susceptible isolates in complex bioaerosols mixtures, as found in the environment, may be feasible using agar supplemented with azole drugs. The aim was to determine the prevalence of azole resistance in occupational settings using azole-supplemented agar as a screening tool.
