Are we neglecting the importance of azole resistance screening in indoor air quality assessments?
| Resumo: | Introduction: The microbial exposure, as well as their metabolic products, has been frequently reported as a high risk of respiratory effects and general health hazards. Regarding the Portuguese legislation for IAQ, the microbial assessment covers only air sampling and culture-based methods (malt extract agar as only culture media to be applied). Fungal legal criteria consist of a fungal load ratio between indoor and outdoor, which should be lower than 1 (I/O<1). Purpose: Analyze the importance of including the characterization of the azole resistance profile in indoor air quality assessments. |
