Summary: This study aimed to assess the occurrence of fungi in water sample, tap and sink from drinking fountains at the university center, Recife-PE, Brazil. From each fountain, 100mL of water were collected, and the samples from the tap and sink surfaces were obtained by using swabs. The samples were cultivated on Sabouraud agar medium containing 50mg/L of chloramphenicol in Petri dishes. Of water samples, 10 isolates of filamentous fungi were found and identified as Aspergillus flavus (5), A. niger (3) and Cladosporium cladosporioides (2). Twenty-one strains of filamentous fungi were isolated from tap samples and 164 from sink samples. The number of colony forming units (CFU) (48h) ranged from 12 to 56 in water samples, from 115 to 228 in samples collected from taps, and 204 to 690 in sink samples. Fungi capable of producing mycotoxins were detected in both water and taps samples. Monitoring the microbial and chemical quality of water and the maintenance of water purification equipment are crucial to guarantee the consumers safety.

De cada bebedouro foram coletados 100 mL de água, e das superfícies da torneira e pia as amostras foram obtidas com swab. As amostras foram semeadas em meio ágar Sabouraud adicionado de 50mg/L de cloranfenicol, em placas de Petri. Das amostras de água, 10 culturas de fungos filamentosos foram isoladas e estas foram identificadas como Aspergillus flavus (5), A. niger (3) e Cladosporium cladosporioides (2). Das torneiras foram obtidos 21 isolados de fungos filamentosos e 164 das amostras das pias. O número de unidades formadoras de colônias (UFCs) (48h) variou de 12 a 56 em amostras de água, de 115 a 228 em amostras coletadas das torneiras e de 204 a 690 das pias. A presença de fungos com capacidade de produzir micotoxinas foi detectada nas amostras de água, bem como das torneiras. Com a finalidade de preservar a saúde dos consumidores, o monitoramento e a manutenção de equipamentos de purificação da água são práticas essenciais para garantir a qualidade microbiana e química da água.Instituto Adolfo Lutz2010-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/RIAL/article/view/3261910.53393/rial.2010.69.32619Instituto Adolfo Lutz Journal - RIAL; Vol. 69 No. 4 (2010); 576-579Revista del Instituto Adolfo Lutz - RIAL; Vol. 69 Núm. 4 (2010); 576-579Revista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz; v. 69 n. 4 (2010); 576-5791983-38140073-9855reponame:Revista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz (Online)instname:Instituto Adolfo Lutzinstacron:IALporhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/RIAL/article/view/32619/31450Copyright (c) 2010 André Ferraz Goiana Leal, Danielle Patrícia Cerqueira Macêdo, Cristina Maria de Souza-Motta, Maria José dos Santos Fernandes, Oliane Maria Correia Magalhães, Rejane Pereira Nevesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLeal, André Ferraz GoianaMacêdo, Danielle Patrícia CerqueiraSouza-Motta, Cristina Maria deFernandes, Maria José dos SantosMagalhães, Oliane Maria CorreiaNeves, Rejane Pereira2023-11-07T19:36:05Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/32619Revistahttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/RIAL/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/RIAL/oairial@saude.sp.gov.brhttps://doi.org/10.53393/rial1983-38140073-9855opendoar:2023-11-07T19:36:05Revista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz (Online) - Instituto Adolfo Lutzfalse
