Projeto IPL - Bacterial Bioburden assessment in the context of occupational exposure and animal health of swine productions - BBIOR (IPL/2016/BBIOR_ESTeSL).Aim of the study - Mucorales species can cause severe infections among immunocompromised patients. Mucormycosis is associated with a great deal of morbidity and infections caused by Mucorales species among patients receiving triazole prophylaxis. Considering the clinical relevance of Mucorales order, the prevalence of these fungal species and azole-resistance surveillance should be ensured in fungal exposure assessments. In this study, the prevalence of Mucorales species indoor was determined in different occupational settings and dwellings. Azole-resistant Mucorales were determined by morphological and molecular criteria.engEnvironmental healthContamination exposureFungiMucoralesAzole resistanceACT_005DBB/12IPL/2016/W2E_ESTeSLIPL/2016/BBIOR_ESTeSLconference object
