Abstract
The study investigates epidemiology of microorganisms, responsible for the development of septic surgical infections in sick persons who underwent inpatient treatment in a large referral state hospital - Dodoma Regional Hospital, Tanzania in November 2014 - March 2015 as well as nurses’ carriage of opportunistic pathogens. The assessment of isolated microorganisms’ sensitivity to common antibacterial agents was conducted. The study included analysis of the consistency of drugs initially administered for the patients’ treatment (therapia ex juvantibus) to the results of microbiological sensitivity tests. The study attempted to select candidates for the role of nosocomial infections in the hospital. The list of practical recommendations was developed for the prevention of the circulation of such infectious agents among patients and medical staff.

Summary
Целью нашего исследования явилось определение распространенности различных видов микроорганизмов, вызывающих нагноительные хирургические заболевания в Региональной клинической больнице Додомы, и изучение их чувствительности к распространенным антибактериальным препаратам. Установить распространенность микроорганизмов у больных, проходящих стационарное лечение по поводу гнойных хирургических инфекций. 2. Установить распространенность микроорганизмов, персистирующих у медработников, оказывающих медицинскую помощь таким пациентам
