Abstract

The human skin is inhabited by several species of microorganisms, including some opportunistic. These micro bios remain in metabolic balance, inhibiting the overgrowth of resistant species or new pathogens. Although this balance, the fungal contamination is growing rapidly. The finding of pathogenic fungi is enough to involve them as causes of disease, because there are no natural laboratory contaminants. Formaldehyde is a product of low-cost widely used in anatomy to conservation of anatomical parts. Some fungi show resistance to a 10% formaldehyde used in conservation, such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger. Some anatomical parts of the human anatomy laboratory had a white substance on the adipose tissue surface, so there was a subject of literary research, but few studies were found, it is necessary to study further, and aim to evaluate the action of the fungicide used formaldehyde, performing collections for study tables and in storage of corpses tank, and multiple test tubes at 10 different concentrations of formalin. It was identified 10 fungal genera, such as Epicoccum, Cladosporium, Candida, Bipolaris, Histoplasma, Scedosporium, Curvularia, coccidiodes immitis and trichopyton rubrum. There was no growth in these multiple test tubes and concluded that formaldehyde is a product with fungicidal action.
