Abstract

Long-lasting or cumulative exposure to indoor dampness microbiota (DM) emitting fungal and bacterial toxins is a serious health hazard. Dampness microbiota (DM) comprises molds, yeasts, gram positive and gram negative bacteria species. The following genera and species are often found: Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Stachybotrys chartarum, etc. Gram positive bacteria may include Actinomycetes, Nocardia, Mycobacteria and Bacilli. Many genera are toxin producers. The ecological community of DM may vary over time depending on the microbial unrestricted competition for the availability of nutrition factors.
