Potentially pathogenic bacteria isolated from neglected air and surfaces in hospitals

Hospital infections (HI) are a serious public health problem in many countries. Several studies have identified strains correlating to surgical site infections, with multi-resistance. The goals of this study was quantify, identify and verify the resistance profile microorganisms collected at two hospitals settings, alert professionals how environmental contamination can influence hospital infection rates. For air sampling operating rooms, intensive care unit materials sterilization center, impaction method (Spin Air, IUL®) passive sedimentation were used. isolation bacteria on surfaces uniforms contact plates (RODAC®) Identification performed using Vitek® 2 Systems. antibiograms conducted according disk diffusion recommended by CLSI. center B presented more than 500 CFU/m3 aerial microbial load. In microbiota sampled areas both hospitals, M. luteus, S. haemolyticus hominis spp prevalent microorganisms, percentage greater 30%. On there prevalence luteus (40%) (20%) among others, some resistant isolated from environments load within limits.
