BACKGROUND
Nosocomial infections are on the rise worldwide and many a times they are carried by the health care personnel. Accessories used by physicians and healthcare personnel can be a potential source of nosocomial infection.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We designed a survey with the aim to investigate the prevalence of microbial flora of accessories such as pens, stethoscopes, cell phones and white coat used by the physicians working in a tertiary care hospital.
OBSERVATIONS
It was observed that 66% of the pens, 55% of the stethoscopes, 47.61% of the cell phones and 28.46% of the white coats used by the doctors were colonized with various microorganisms. Staphylococcus spp. was the predominant isolate followed by Escherichia coli. Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus was also found, which was a matter of concern.
CONCLUSIONS
Awareness of appropriate hand hygiene is important in order to prevent potential transmission to patients.
背景
医院感染在全球范围内呈上升趋势，而且很多时候是由医护人员传播的。医生和医护人员使用的物品可能是医院感染的潜在来源。
材料与方法
我们设计了一项调查，旨在调查在一家三级医院工作的医生所使用的笔、听诊器、手机和白大褂等物品上微生物菌群的流行情况。
观察结果
观察发现，医生使用的笔中有66%、听诊器中有55%、手机中有47.61%、白大褂中有28.46%被各种微生物定植。葡萄球菌属是主要分离菌，其次是大肠杆菌。还发现金黄色葡萄球菌存在耐甲氧西林情况，这令人担忧。
结论
认识到适当的手部卫生对于防止潜在的患者传播很重要。
