Finding F-1549

“The mean density of outdoor cultures was 292.37 compared to all indoor units 24.53 (91.61% reduction), floors 25.44 (91.3% reduction), ICUs 28.19 (90.4% reduction), radiology suites 22.5 (92.3% reduction), and ORs 12.79 (95.6% reduction).”

Structure

Factor: Airborne fungi
Setting: hospital
Study design: proposed standard for hospital bioaerosols: viable bioaerosol samples cultured indoors in wards, intensive care units, radiology suites and operating rooms and compared with outdoor reference samples (class 4)
Effect: mean 24.53
Caveat: culturable fungi only; 13 of the isolated species matched the outdoor reference isolates
