Nosocomial fungal infections--study of the possible role of cockroaches (Blattella germanica) as vectors.

R Fotedar1, U Banerjee.   

Abstract

A variety of fungi of medical importance were recovered from cockroaches (Blattella germanica) collected from hospital wards (159) and residential areas (128) in different seasons. The fungi isolated were various species of Candida, Rhizopus, Mucor, Alternaria and Aspergillus. Candida spp. were the fungi isolated in highest percentage from hospital and residential area.
