UNLABELLED
The study was conducted to learn if the otoscope, a noncritical medical device, used by ENT residents harbor pathogenic organism. This study was conducted in a medical teaching hospital in India. Total of 38 otoscopes of ENT residents were examined after taking samples using sterile cotton swabs from otoscope speculum and otoscope head and both bacterial and fungal culture were studied. The study showed that 11 otoscope heads (28.94%) and 11 otoscope speculums (28.94%) out of the 38 otoscopes studied showed bacterial growth. Most commonly isolated bacteria were skin commensals followed by Klebsiella species. Fungal growth was seen in 3 out of 38 otoscope Speculums (7.89%). All 3 fungi isolated during the study belonged to Aspergillus species. Training residents regarding hygiene of medical equipments is necessary. Residents must be periodically assessed regarding their practice in handling medical equipments.

本研究旨在了解耳鼻喉科住院医师使用的非关键医疗设备耳镜是否携带致病生物。本研究在印度的一家医学教学医院进行。使用无菌棉签从耳镜窥镜和耳镜头部取样后，对38个耳鼻喉科住院医师使用的耳镜进行了检查，并对细菌和真菌培养进行了研究。研究表明，在38个被研究的耳镜中，有11个耳镜头部（28.94%）和11个耳镜窥镜（28.94%）显示有细菌生长。最常分离出的细菌是皮肤共生菌，其次是克雷伯菌属。在38个耳镜窥镜中有3个（7.89%）观察到真菌生长。研究期间分离出的所有3种真菌均属于曲霉菌属。有必要对住院医师进行医疗设备卫生方面的培训。必须定期评估住院医师在处理医疗设备方面的实践情况。
