What is Fungi Isolated From The Excreta Of Wild Birds In Screening Centers In Pelotas, Rs, Brazil about?
The identification of the fungal species belonging to the healthy microflora in animals is a precondition for the recognition of pathological processes causing them. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of potentially pathogenic fungi in the feces of wild birds collected in Screening Centers. Samples were collected from the feces of 50 cages with different species of birds. The samples were processed according to the modified method STAIB and the plates incubated at 32 °C for up to ten days with daily observation for detection of fungal growth. The isolation of the following species was observed: __Malassezia pachydermatis__, __Candida albicans__, __C. famata__, __C. guilliermondii__, __C. sphaerica__, __C. globosa__, __C. catenulata__, __C. ciferri__, __C. intermedia__, __Cryptococcus laurentii__, __Trichosporon asahii__, __Geotrichum klebahnii__, __Aspergillus__ spp., __A. niger__ and __Penicillium__ spp. Knowing the character of some opportunistic fungi is important in identifying them, facilitating the adoption of preventive measures, such as proper cleaning of cages, since the accumulation of excreta may indicate a risk for both health professionals and center
