OBJECTIVE
Isolation of potentially pathogenic bacteria from carpets in hospitals has been reported earlier, but not from carpets in mosques. The aim of the present study is to determine the pathogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria that may exist on the carpets of mosques in Tripoli, Libya.
METHODS
Dust samples from carpets were collected from 57 mosques in Tripoli. Samples were examined for pathogenic bacteria using standard bacteriological procedures. Susceptibility of isolated bacteria to antimicrobial agents was determined by the disc-diffusion method.
RESULTS
Of dust samples examined, Salmonella spp. was detected in two samples (3.5%, 1 in group B and 1 in group C1), Escherichia coli in 16 samples (28.1%), Aeromonas spp. in one sample (1.8%), and Staphylococcus aureus in 12 samples (21.1%). Multiple drug resistance was observed in >16.7% of E. coli and in 25% of S. aureus.
CONCLUSION
Contamination of carpets in mosques of Tripoli with antibiotic-resistant pathogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria may pose a health risk to worshipers, particularly, the very young, the old and the immunecompromised. Worshipers are encouraged to use personal praying mats when praying in mosques.
目的
此前曾有报道称从医院的地毯上分离出潜在致病细菌，但尚未从清真寺的地毯上分离出。本研究旨在确定利比亚的黎波里的清真寺地毯上可能存在的致病和潜在致病细菌。
方法
从的黎波里的 57 座清真寺收集地毯上的灰尘样本。使用标准细菌学程序检查样本中是否存在致病细菌。通过圆盘扩散法确定分离细菌对抗菌药物的敏感性。
结果
在所检查的灰尘样本中，有两例（3.5%，1 例为 B 组，1 例为 C1 组）检测到沙门氏菌，16 例（28.1%）检测到大肠杆菌，1 例（1.8%）检测到气单胞菌，12 例（21.1%）检测到金黄色葡萄球菌。>16.7%的大肠杆菌和 25%的金黄色葡萄球菌表现出多重耐药性。
结论
的黎波里清真寺的地毯受到携带抗生素耐药性的致病和潜在致病细菌的污染，可能会对礼拜者（尤其是幼童、老人和免疫功能低下者）的健康构成威胁。鼓励礼拜者在清真寺祈祷时使用个人祈祷垫。
