ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED: Microbiological tests of air in hospitals are the very important constituent element in prophylaxis of health care-associated infections. The aim of the study is to assess air in hospitals accordingly to the microbiological standards. The results were analyzed for 1993-2011. There were 0.2-4.2% of the samples that did not meet the standard. The maximum amount of microorganisms was found while SanPiN 2.1.3.1375-03 was effective within validity period SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10 didn't normalize fungus, resulting in the minimal amount of mold. The frequency of sampling did not affect the result. DISCUSSION: Moulds are the causative agents of invasive fungal infections. Fungi can cause nosocomial infections. There is description of method to isolate fungi in the guidelines for control MUK 4.2.2942-11. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to use a new procedure when assessing the air in hospitals.
