ANÁLISE DE CONTAMINAÇÃO EM SUPERFÁCIES INANIMADAS DE DIFERENTES SETORES DO HOSPITAL

The main microorganism transmission via within a hospital is made by the hands of health professionals and patients, not ruling out the participation of environmental sources, such as surfaces, equipment and clothing. Inanimate surfaces of different sectors are sources of pathogens and they are a challenge for the prevention of infection-related assistance to health. This study aimed at carrying out microbiological analysis of inanimate surface from different sectors of the hospital. This study is transversal, exploratory, and prospective with quantitative and experimental approach. The population was composed of securities of sectors such as the Intensive Care Unit, Surgical Clinic, Medical Clinic, Maternity and Emergency Unit of a medium-sized hospital. The sample consisted of table clinical and drug preparation bench. The samples were collected by sterile swab soaked in saline solution at 0.9% and inoculated in Agar triptecaseina soy media, Sabouraud and incubated at 37°C for 24-48 hours. After this period the counting and evaluation of the characteristics of the colonies were undertaken. All tables of clinical and drug preparation benches of the evaluated sectors showed mesofile / UFC. It was found the presence of various pathogenic microorganisms.
