INFECTIVE AGENTS IN FIXED ANATONICAL MATERIALS
Abstract
The program of pre-graduate and postgraduate medical education involves the use of cadavers to teach anatomy by autopsy or examination of dissected samples. The preservation process of the biomaterial must ensure that it is free from damage, destruction and decomposition. Preservative solutions are used for this, but it remains unclear whether there is any risk of spread. microorganisms during the teaching of anatomy, research and autopsy procedures of fixed corpses. The results showed that the fixed cadaveric material, as well as preservative solutions, contain viable micromycetes. The study of the pathogenicity factors of fungi isolated from anatomical preparations showed that more than 80% of fungal strains have hydrolytic activity. This study highlights the importance of developing safe manipulation protocols to avoid possible infection and illness of staff and students.
