“…It is also easy to test. The virulence of pathogenic fungi is connected to viability [ 8 , 12 , 28 , 29 ]. The majority of the metabolically active building mycobiota is cultivable, detectable and possible to be identified to the genus level by cultivation-based conventional methods [ 7 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…They represent a serious problem in buildings such as hospitals and nursing homes housing vulnerable persons [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Opportunistic pathogenic fungi represent a global emerging threat for COVID-19 patients, patients receiving immunosuppressive medication and for patients with uncontrolled diabetes [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Stress tolerance is connected to virulence and emerging fungal pathogens may evolve in indoor environment [ 7 ]. Invasive infections by fungi from the genera Aspergillus, Rhizopus and Trichoderma are associated with renovations of mold-infested buildings [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Some Aspergillus and Chaetomium species unable to grow at 37 °C may cause onychomycoses and have been suspected to cause rare exotic infections [ 4 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Viable airborne pathogenic fungi represent a potential health hazard when exposing vulnerable persons in quantities exceeding their resilience. In this study, 284 indoor fungal isolates from a strain collection of indoor fungi were screened for pathogenic potential through the ability to grow in neutral pH at 37 °C and 30 °C. The isolates were collected from 20 locations including 14 problematic and 6 non-problematic ordinary buildings. Out of the screened isolates, 170 isolates were unable to grow at 37 °C, whereas 67 isolates growing at pH 7.2 at 37 °C were considered as potential opportunistic pathogens. Forty-seven isolates growing at 30 °C but not at 37 °C were considered as less likely pathogens. Out of these categories, 33 and 33 strains, respectively, were identified to the species level. The problematic buildings included known opportunistic pathogens: Aspergillus calidoustus, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Rhizopus arrhizus and Paecilomyces variotii, as well as less likely pathogens: Aspergillus versicolor, Chaetomium cochliodes, Chaetomium globosum and Chaetomium rectangulare. Opportunistic pathogens such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus tubingensis and less likely pathogens such as Aspergillus westerdijkiae, Chaetomium globosum and Dichotomopilus finlandicus were isolated both from ordinary and from problematic buildings. Aspergillus was the dominant, most diverse genus found during screening for potentially pathogenic isolates in the indoor strain collection. Studies on Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus calidodoustus revealed that tolerance to cleaning chemicals may contribute to the adaptation of Aspergillus species to indoor environments.

Chemical pesticides and fertilizers are used in agricultural production worldwide to prevent damage from plant pathogenic microorganisms, insects, and nematodes, to minimize crop losses and to preserve crop quality. However, the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers can severely pollute soil, water, and air, posing risks to the environment and human health. Consequently, developing new, alternative, environment-friendly microbial soil treatment interventions for plant protection and crop yield increase has become indispensable. Members of the filamentous fungal genus Trichoderma (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes, Hypocreales) have long been known as efficient antagonists of plant pathogenic microorganisms based on various beneficial traits and abilities of these fungi. This minireview aims to discuss the advances in the field of Trichoderma-containing multicomponent microbiological inoculants based on recent experimental updates. Trichoderma strains can be combined with each other, with other fungi and/or with beneficial bacteria. The development and field performance of such inoculants will be addressed, focusing on the complementarity, synergy, and compatibility of their microbial components.
