Abstract(s)

Aim of the study - The genus Aspergillus is one of the most prevalent in several highly contaminated occupational environments, such as the waste sorting industry. The identification and quantification of Aspergillus sections present on filters from the air-conditioning systems in fork lifters from waste industry was performed, including the screening of azole-resistance. In addition, toxigenic strains from Aspergillus spp. were detected.
