Abstract excerpt

After an outbreak of sternal surgical-site infections (SSSI) with Aspergillus flavus following cardiac surgery, a mycological survey of air and surfaces (41 and 149 samples, respectively) was performed throughout the surgical ward (SW) and in other areas of the hospital. Results showed massive contamination by A. flavus: more than 100 cfu per contact plate were frequently observed in some areas of the SW. The...
