Environmental isolation of Sporothrix spp. in veterinary settings

Overview
Background This study investigated environmental contamination by Sporothrix spp. in a veterinary facility specialised in treating cats with sporotrichosis. Methods Twelve samples were collected from frequently touched surfaces and cages of three cats at different treatment stages. Sampling sites included a procedure table, door handle, faucet, ethanol sprayer, an identification card with visible secretions, and cage components. Samples were cultured on Mycosel agar. Fungal growth was assessed through micromorphological analysis. Results Sporothrix was isolated from four samples (33%), one from the stainless‐steel procedure table and the others associated with the cages of two symptomatic cats. Cat #1, with active ulcerative lesions, had positive cultures from both the cage grid and latch. Cat #2, in early treatment and showing respiratory signs, had fungal growth on the cage grid. No contamination was detected from Cat #3's environment, and for the remaining sports swapped. Conclusion These findings suggest that cage surfaces in veterinary settings can be a source of environmental contamination and potential occupational exposure.
