Abstract
Assessment of bacterial contamination and antibiotics susceptibility of pathogenic Bacteria in the operating theaters in AL-Batool teaching hospital
Highlights
Surgical site infection is one of the most serious complications in any kind of surgery [1].Patient associated factors include old age and increased prevalence in coexistence of metabolic diseases which decrease host immunity
Conclusion:- Contamination of operating theaters was the most dangerous problem .Which was responsible for 90% of opportunistic infections in hospital,which may be came from another person, from patients flora,or by contamination instruments in the operating rooms,the rate of bacterial contamination was high during September and October
Patient factors, such as older age, and surgical factors, such as the expansion of complexity and magnitude of a surgery, create a higher risk of infections [9].The largest source of bacterial contamination of surgical pathogens is the bacteria of the patient’s own skin, followed by the participants in a surgery [10].Noted that 38% of post-surgical patient deaths are the direct consequences of surgical site infection
Summary
Surgical site infection is one of the most serious complications in any kind of surgery [1].Patient associated factors include old age and increased prevalence in coexistence of metabolic diseases which decrease host immunity. The control of bacterial contamination and appropriate reduction of the soiled bacteria would be the most effective method to prevent a surgical site infection and the use of antibiotics could be minimized, so to retard the advent of resistant strains[3,4]. There are patient factors, surgical factors and environmental factors that contribute to the development of surgical site infection Patient factors, such as older age, and surgical factors, such as the expansion of complexity and magnitude of a surgery, create a higher risk of infections [9].The largest source of bacterial contamination of surgical pathogens is the bacteria of the patient’s own skin, followed by the participants in a surgery [10].Noted that 38% of post-surgical patient deaths are the direct consequences of surgical site infection. The objective from this study to assess of the contamination rate and antibiotics susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria in the operating theaters in Al-Batool teaching hospital
