Ocorrência de Klebsiella pneumoniae e outros coliformes em sabão neutro líquido utilizado em um berçário de hospital

Abstract: Foi constatado, no berçário de um hospital da rede pública de Salvador, um surto de infecção hospitalar causado por Klebsiella pneumoniae. Para detectar a origem da infecção, foram realizadas análises microbiológicas em diversas possíveis fontes de contaminação exógenas. Verificou-se, na água com sabão, utilizada no banho dos recém-nascidos, a presença de Klebsiella pneumoniae e outros coliformes. Não tendo sido constatada contaminação na água que servia ao berçário, foram examinadas várias amostras do sabão n… Show more

“…According to the same study, contaminated soaps are not included among the most mentioned hospital infection sources, but they are potentially dangerous because, normally, as these products are not considered as such, they are not always analyzed in hospital infection investigations. The risk is even greater in case of neutral soaps, as their pH favors the growth of microorganisms (23) .…”
