Abstract in Portuguese
Caracterizou-se os gêneros de fungos miceliais encontrados em amostras de leite humano ordenhado, recebidas a partir de coleta domiciliar, pelo Banco de Leite Humano do Instituto Fernandes Figueira. Foram analisadas 821 amostras de leite humano ordenhado, obtidas ao acaso, a partir de frascos coletados nos domicílios pelas próprias doadoras, e realizadas pesquisas de bolores e leveduras e microrganismos mesófilos. As análises revelaram a ocorrência de bolores e leveduras em 43 (5,2%) das amostras, com contagens atingindo a ordem de 103UFC/ml, tendo sido isoladas 48 cepas de fungos miceliais, que foram identificadas por técnicas padrão de laboratório, como as seguintes: Aspergillus Grupo Niger (6,3%), Aspergillus sp. (4,2%), Paecilomyces sp. (12,6%), Penicillium sp. (60,4%), Rhizopus sp. (2,0%) e Syncephalastrum sp. (14,5%). Discute-se a importância do controle da assepsia das mãos das doadoras, antes da coleta do leite humano.
Abstract
The authors characterized the genera of mycelial fungi found in samples of expressed human milk received through home collection by the Human Milk Bank of the Instituto Fernandes Figueira in Rio de Janeiro. A total of 821 samples of expressed human milk were taken randomly from bottles collected at home by the milk donors themselves and were investigated for molds, yeasts, and mesophilic microorganisms. The analyses showed the occurrence of molds and yeasts in 43 (5.2%) of the samples, with counts reaching 103CFU/ml. Some 48 strains of mycelial fungi were identified by standard laboratory techniques, including: Aspergillus Niger group (6.3%), Aspergillus sp. (4.2%), Paecilomyces sp. (12.6%), Penicillium sp. (60.4%), Rhizopus sp. (2.0%), and Syncephalastrum sp. (14.5%). The authors discuss the importance of donor hands’ asepsis prior to collecting human milk.
