Background: Environmental monitoring of airborne filamentous fungi is necessary to reduce fungal concentrations in operating theaters and in controlled environments, and to prevent infections. The present study reports results of a surveillance of filamentous fungi carried out on samples from air...

The emergence of novel or recurring pathogens and the multi-resistance of certain species towards antibiotics have led us to the surveillance of the microbial prevalence in the hospital's air. This study has deployed a methodological demonstration of the prominence of nosocomial pathogens in the...

A study was conducted to investigate microfungi diversity in air samples from 6 Russion museums and to examine the factors affecting fungal number, diversity and dynamics. Air samples were collected from the following museums: Mikhailovsy Palace; St Michael's Castle; Marble Palace; Summer Palace of ...

Moulds inhabiting mineral-based materials may cause their biodeterioration, contributing to inestimable losses, especially in the case of cultural heritage objects and architectures. Fungi in mouldy buildings may also pose a threat to human health and constitute the main etiological factor in...

This article describes the conversion of DNA sequences from Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and man into musical sequences.

This study investigates the four historical buildings in Slovakia (historical chapels in Trnava, depositories at the Slovak National Museum in Martin, Crypt of Chatam Sófer and late gothic church in Okoličné) contaminated with microscopic fungi. A total of 69 species of micromycetes were isolated...
