Researchers found dangerous Fusarium fungal species in water systems of hospital ICU wards in Tehran, Iran. These fungi can spread through water fixtures and pose serious risks to patients with weak immune systems. Testing showed that certain antifungal drugs like posaconazole and voriconazole worked well against these fungi, but other drugs were less effective. The study emphasizes the importance of better water management and safety measures in hospitals to protect vulnerable patients.
