“…The most common nosocomial infections in eye hospitals are acute conjunctivitis, followed by upper respiratory tract infections and endophthalmitis. [3]. In patients with postoperative endophthalmitis, the most frequently isolated bacteria were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), including Staphylococcus epidermidis [3,4].…”

“…[3]. In patients with postoperative endophthalmitis, the most frequently isolated bacteria were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), including Staphylococcus epidermidis [3,4]. Further, ocular infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) appear to be increasing in incidence, prevalence, and also resistance to other antibiotics, especially fluoroquinolones and erythromycin [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…During routine diagnostics in eye clinics, many patients are examined in a short time and often suffer from highly contagious eye infectious ( Watson et al., 2018 ). Common HAI in ophthalmology are acute (viral and bacterial) conjunctivitis, keratitis and endophthalmitis ( Wang et al., 2006 ), while frequent and increasing infections by multi-resistant bacteria are caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Schulte et al., 2020 ). Therefore, special hygienic attention is required for optical surfaces.…”

Slit lamps are routinely used to examine large numbers of patients every day due to high throughput. Previous, cultivation-based results suggested slit lamps to be contaminated with bacteria, mostly coagulase-negative staphylococci, followed by micrococci, bacilli, but also Staphylococcus aureus. Our study aimed at obtaining a much more comprehensive, cultivation-independent view of the slit lamp bacteriota and its hygienic relevance, as regularly touched surfaces usually represent fomites, particularly if used by different persons. We performed extensive 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyse the bacteriota, of 46 slit lamps from two tertiary care centers at two sampling sites, respectively. 82 samples yielded enough sequences for downstream analyses and revealed contamination with bacteria of mostly human skin, mucosa and probably eye origin, predominantly cutibacteria, staphylococci and corynebacteria. The taxonomic assignment of 3369 ASVs (amplicon sequence variants) revealed 19 bacterial phyla and 468 genera across all samples. As antibiotic resistances are of major concern, we screened all samples for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using qPCR, however, no signals above the detection limit were detected. Our study provides first comprehensive insight into the slit lamp microbiota. It underlines that slit lamps carry a highly diverse, skin-like bacterial microbiota and that thorough cleaning and disinfection after use is highly recommendable to prevent eye and skin infections.

Nosocomial infections are infections acquired or occurring while patients were hospitalized. Nosocomial infections can be caused by various agents of disease, like bacteria. The bacteria are found in the hospital environment, including the inpatient unit. Objective: to know the pattern of aerobic bacteria that could potentially cause nosocomial infections in inpatient eyes unit IRINA F Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Methods: 14 swabs were taken at the surface of patient’s beds, treatment rooms and 8 samples of air space. Identification of bacteria carried on an agar medium isolation, Gram staining and biochemical tests. Results: The obtained bacteria identified six types of bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus sp., Coccus negative Gram, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, and Staphylocccus epidermidis. Conclusion: Bacillus subtilis is the bacteria that most commonly found in inpatient eyes unit IRINA FKeywords: nosocomial infections, patterns of aerobic bacteria, inpatient eye unitAbstrak: Infeksi nosokomial adalah infeksi yang didapat atau terjadi saat pasien dirawat di rumah sakit. Infeksi nosokomial dapat disebabkan oleh berbagai agen penyakit, salah satunya ialah bakteri. Bakteri penyebab infeksi sering ditemukan di lingkungan rumah sakit, termasuk di ruang rawat inap. Tujuan : mengetahui pola bakteri aerob yang berpotensi menyebabkan infeksi nosokomial di ruang rawat inap mata IRINA F RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Metode: sampel diambil pada 14 usapan perabotan ruangan, ruangan perawatan dan 8 sampel udara ruang. Identifikasi bakteri dilakukan isolasi pada media agar, pewarnaan Gram dan uji biokimia. Hasil: bakteri yang teridentifikasi didapatkan enam jenis bakteri, yaitu Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus sp., Coccus Gram negatif, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, dan Staphylocccus epidermidis. Kesimpulan: Bakteri Bacillus subtilis merupakan bakteri yang paling banyak ditemukan di ruang rawat inap mata IRINA FKata kunci: infeksi nosokomial, pola bakteri aerob, ruang rawat inap mata
