Abstract: Objective: to compare the degree of bacterial contamination of surgical instrument tables used in clean surgical procedures, either protected with plastic fields, sterilized with ethylene oxide, or disinfected with 70% alcohol and 1% iodine solutions. This is a randomized clinical trial in which samples were collected from the surfaces of surgical instrument tables before and after each procedure. Microbiological analysis was performed to identify microorganisms and their respective antimicrobial resistance. R… Show more

“…The disinfectant tested in this study showed a proven antimicrobial activity (BS, 2006), inhibiting the growth of microorganisms with a population density of 107 CFU / mL in the three analyzed contact times The results allow us to infer that the evaluation of the microbial load of surfaces is useful in the investigation of possible sources of contamination, since the surfaces of the analyzed surgical center can be considered reservoirs of microorganisms of clinical relevance already related to SSI (YEZLI; BARBUT;OTTER, 2014;BHALLA et al, 2004;AMARAL et al, 2013), as CNS bacteria, the main pathogen found on the evaluated surfaces, contributing to the occurrence of cross-contamination (BHALLA et al, 2004).…”

“…This greatly reduces their risk of contamination by air-borne bacteria in the operating theatre, as would happen with standard instrumentation that it exposed on a table throughout the duration of surgery, and re-sterilized between operations. Contamination of instruments on tables in the operating theatre by air-borne bacteria remains a considerable cause of surgical site infections at present, despite advances in laminar air flow technology and surgical staff clothing, and textile or plastic field protection of surfaces [31][32][33][34].…”
