Sources of fungal contamination in a burn-care unit
Abstract
A microbiological study was carried out in the burn-care unit of the Centro Traumatologico Ortopedico of Turin (Italy) in order to detect the most important sources of fungal contamination in patients at high risk of infection. Identification of the fungi was carried out only for those of medical mycological interest, with the exclusion of the yeast isolates.
