Abstract

Assessment of pathogenicity factors of micromycetes Aspergillus flavus isolated from molded premises showed that all studied strains are potentially pathogenic and toxigenic. The production of extracellular phospholipases is observed under 28 °С, 37 °С a nd a fter c ombined e ffect of e levated t emperature (37 °C) a nd b iocide (0.001 and 0.01 % benzalkonium chloride) treatment. All strains are resistant to fluconazole, 2 out of 8 strains are resistant to several antimycotics (ketoconazole, nystatin, fluconazole). Investigation of the potential pathogenicity of agents of biodeterioration is important not only for the targeted elimination of mold, but also for assessing the risks to human health.
