Resumo(s)
The presence of fungi belonging to the Penicillium glabrum complex has been associated with the development of respiratory diseases such as suberosis, one of the most prevalent diseases among workers from cork industries, besides occupational asthma. Azoles are used as pesticides but also the first line therapy in the treatment of Aspergillus infections; azole-resistance as been described as to have also an
environmental source and is considered an emerging public health problem. The aim of this work was to characterize fungal distribution and to evaluate the presence of azole-resistant Aspergillus isolates in
nose swab samples from the cork industry workers.
