A system of surface treatment with an antibacterial agent and air recirculation through treated filters was set up in a 15-bedded surgical ward, using an adjacent 10-bedded ward as a control.Nasal, wound, and urinary cross-infection was studied in both wards for over one year.Total bacterial counts and counts of Staphylococcus pyogenes were made from settle plates and blanket sweep plates. After the installation of the system aerial contamination in the test ward was reduced appreciably more than in the control ward. The number of blankets contaminated with Staph. pyogenes was similar in both wards. There was no significant difference in wound, nasal, or urinary cross-infection between the two wards.
在一个有15张床位的外科病房中建立了一个使用抗菌剂进行表面处理并通过经处理的过滤器进行空气循环的系统,将相邻一个有10张床位的病房作为对照。对两个病房的鼻腔、伤口和泌尿系统交叉感染情况进行了一年多的研究。通过沉降平板和全面擦拭平板进行总细菌计数和化脓性葡萄球菌计数。该系统安装后,试验病房的空气污染比对照病房明显减少。两个病房中被化脓性葡萄球菌污染的毛毯数量相似。两个病房在伤口、鼻腔或泌尿系统交叉感染方面没有显著差异。
