Background: The quality of drinking water supplied to hospitals is directly related the health services provided people.
 Objective: To assess chemical and microbial standards four public on Baghdad's eastern side.
 Patients Methods: In this study, 100 samples were collected from taps hospitals. Scientific methods followed collect in clean, sterile bottles. chemophysical characteristi...

b ackground: in recent decades, extended spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) producing bacteria have increased worldwide. the most important causative agents of nosocomial infections throughout the world, escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae as main esbl-producing bacteria are so highly regarded. trends  in  the  treatment  of  infections  by such  bacteria  have  led  to  a  global concern. t...

Three different areas -hospital, food-handling establishments and human dwellings, were surveyed for pathogenic gram-negative bacteria carried on the cuticles of cockroaches. Fifty species of bacteria were identified from all cockroaches. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii and Enterobacter cloacae were the most frequently found. Pathogenic and potentially pathogenic b...

Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of nosocomial infections in the United States, adding billions of dollars per year to health care costs. A vaccine targeted against the bacterium would be extremely beneficial in decreasing the morbidity and mortality caused by C. difficile-associated disease; a vaccine directed against a colonization factor would hinder the spread of the bacterium as ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the plasmid mediated drugs resistance among wound bacteria isolates obtained from (352 swabs specimens) patients attending some hospitals in Kano State (National Orthopaedic Hospital Dala, Aminu Teaching Hospital, Infectious Diseases Bichi General and Wudil Hospital). Swab specimens were aseptically using randomized sampling method cultured on Blood MacCon...

We describe a modification of the most probable number (MPN) method for rapid enumeration of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli bacteria in aqueous environmental samples. E. coli (total and antimicrobial-resistant) bacteria were enumerated in effluent samples from a hospital (n = 17) and municipal sewers upstream (n = 5) and downstream (n = 5) from the hospital, effluent samples from thro...

Healthcare units consist of numerous people circulating daily, such as workers, patients, and companions, these are vehicles for the transmission microorganisms, bacteria. Bacteria species may have different allergenic, pathogenic, infectious, or toxic properties that can affect humans. Hospital settings foment proliferation bacteria due to characteristics present in indoor hospital environment...
