Fungus Isolation And Identification From The Cadaver Tank

Fungi made from samples taken from the ambient air of the cadaver storage pool and anatomy laboratory containing formaldehyde, Purpureocellium lilacinum, Penicillium verrucosum, Aspergillus flavus, Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton tonsurans, and Fusarium spp. isolated and identified. In these cases, those grown formaldehyde fungi, which are used for the fixation of cadavers and the preservation of their structures, show that they should be constantly controlled in the cadaver pools. In addition, it is emphasized that the detected fungal agents may pose a risk in terms of health due to their zoonotic character.
