dc.description.abstractAspergillus genus is responsible for over 80% of pulmonary invasive fungal infections in humans. Invasive aspergillosis, caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in 80% of the cases, is the most common invasive fungal infection. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of Aspergillus genus in a Portuguese hospital, using a wide sampling approach combining active and passive methods. A total of 15 sampling sites were defined, distributed by the different hospital areas - emergency room, day hospital, internment ward, operating room, and outpatient area. Active (air impaction) and passive (surfaces swabs, settled the dust, filters from heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and electrostatic dust collectors (EDC) sampling methods were applied. Samples were impacted/washed and seeded on malt extract agar (MEA) supplemented with chloramphenicol (0.05%) and dichloran-glycerol agar (DG18).pt_PT
