Prevalence of fungi and their antifungal and disinfectant resistance in hospital environments: insights into combating nosocomial mycoses
The findings of this study indicate that the hospital environment, particularly exhaust vents, may act as a significant reservoir for causative agents of IFDs. This highlights the importance of environmental surveillance in preventing and controlling nosocomial fungal infections.
