Thus, is important to identify the most suitable culture media to assess Aspergillus spp. The aim of this study was to analyze data obtained from previous studies, aiming at identifying the most suitable culture media (malt extract agar (MEA) or dichloran-glycerol agar (DG18) to assess Aspergillus spp. isolation and growth. This study was conducted by using environmental samples (n = 1153). Most of the active sampling methods (air samples) were impacted directly onto both culture media. As for passive sampling methods, fungi were extracted from environmental matrices inoculated onto both media. Overall, total Aspergillus counts were higher in MEA (n = 617, 53.5%) than in DG18 (n = 536, 46.5%). Regarding Aspergillus sections, significant associations were detected with the media (χ2 (7) = 241.118, p < 0.001), the sampling approach (p < 0.001, 95% CI = (0.3 × 10−4), and the indoor environment (p < 0.001, 95% CI = (0.3 × 10−4)). As such, sampling approach and the culture media should be accurately selected when dealing with Aspergillus spp. exposure assessment.This work was supported by FCT – Fundação para Ciência e Tecnologia for funding the project EXPOsE – Establishing protocols to assess occupational exposure to microbiota in clinical settings (02/SAICT/2016 – Project nº 23222) and Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal for funding the Project "Waste Workers’ Exposure to Bio-burden through Filtering Respiratory Protective Devices” (IPL/2018/WasteFRPD_ESTeSL) and the Project “Occupational exposure of ambulance drivers to bioburden” (IPL/2020/BIO-AmbuDrivers_ESTeSL).MDPIRepositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de SaúdeViegas, CarlaDias, MartaCarolino, ElisabeteSabino, Raquel2021-03-09T15:35:34Z2020-12-262020-12-26T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/7369engAtmosphere. 2021;12(1): 23. doi: 10.3390/atmos12010023.
