Mestrados em Tecnologias Clínico-LaboratoriaisABSTRACT - In higher education institutes (HEI), microbiological contamination can impair indoor air quality (IAQ), affecting the health, performance, and productivity of the many occupants who spend a lot of time inside the building. The aim of this study was to assess fungi, bacteria, and the SARS-COV-2 virus in ten units of HEI. Azole resistance screening was also analyzed. Fungal and bacterial contamination on surfaces was characterized by culture-based methods. Air and surface samples were also used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and for the identification of Aspergillus section Fumigati by molecular tools. On surfaces, total bacterial contamination ranged from 1 x 103 to 3.1 x 106 CFU.m−2...
