We investigated the microbial burden on the operating room environment when patients on contact precautions for a multidrug-resistant pathogen received surgery. Our study demonstrated that the perioperative environment was contaminated with aerobic bacteria and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) after surgery, and that MRSA persisted environmentally even after cleaning and disinfection, highlighting the need for meticulous cleaning and disinfection in the perioperative environment.
我们调查了对耐多药病原体采取接触预防措施的患者接受手术时手术室环境中的微生物负荷。我们的研究表明,围手术期环境在术后被需氧菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)污染,并且即使在清洁和消毒后,MRSA仍在环境中持续存在,这凸显了在围手术期环境中进行细致清洁和消毒的必要性。
