Medical Mycology: Open Access

Abstract

In Burkina Faso, the effectiveness of the various disinfectants against Aspergillus spores used on medical devices has not yet been demonstrated. Thus the effectiveness of glutaraldehyde, one of the high-level disinfectants, used most often in the disinfection of these medical devices, deserves to be proven through a scientific study. Therefore, our study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration as a function of contact time of glutaraldehyde on Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus.
