An assessment was made of environmental micro-organisms isolated in the University of Turin Intensive Surgical Care Unit and Emergency Surgery Department to determine the possible exogenous origin of post-operative infections. The enzymatic characters and antibiotypes were determined for some species, and subsequently compared with similar characters of the "in vivo" isolated flora. A monthly disinfection method based on comparison among three antiseptic agents (chlorexidine, formaldehyde and formotetronium) considerably reduced the flora. The data obtained, while showing that most of the infections observed were endogenous, also provided indications on the way in which the spread of certain Gram-negative germs, often involved in post-operative and post-traumatic infections, could be contained.
对都灵大学重症外科监护病房和急诊外科分离出的环境微生物进行了评估，以确定术后感染可能的外源性来源。测定了一些菌种的酶学特性和抗菌型，随后与“体内”分离菌群的类似特性进行了比较。基于三种防腐剂（洗必泰、甲醛和福莫铵）比较的月度消毒方法显著减少了菌群。所获得的数据虽然表明观察到的大多数感染是内源性的，但也为控制某些革兰氏阴性菌（常与术后和创伤后感染有关）的传播方式提供了线索。
