    Author: Maghazy SM, Abdel-Mallek AY, Bagy MM.
    Journal: Zentralbl Mikrobiol; 1989; 144(3):213-6. PubMed ID: 2475993.
    Abstract:
    50 water samples from 2 public swimming pools were tested for the presence of fungi using the hair baiting technique and plate count methods. Sabouraud's-dextrose agar and Littman-oxgall agar media were used for isolation of the fungi. Of the keratinolytic fungi 8 species were recorded of which three species were dermatophytes (Trichophyton terrestre, 14% of the samples; T. mentagrophytes, 10% and Microsporum gypseum, 6%). On Littman-oxgall agar the following species were recovered: Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, Penicillium chrysogeman, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Alternaria alternata and Mucor hiemalis.
