Abstract
We studied the distribution of isolated from medical staffs, inpatients and hospital environments at one ward in our hospital. This is one of the epidemiological studies against nosocomial infection in our hospital.
Coagulase nega tive staphylococci (CNS) was most dominant bacteria isolated from hospital environments, medical staff and inpatients. Corynebacterium was isolated most frequently from anterior nares, but was isolated very few from hospital environments and glucose non fermented negative rod (GNF. NR) was isolated especially from moist places. Pseudomonas aeroginosa was isolated only from inpatients and around them.
There was many kinds of bacteria isolated f rom anterior nares. Anterior nares site was seemed to be the reservoir of bacteria. CNS and Corynebacterium were isolated most frequently from doctors. These bacterium are recognized the most dominant organisms among the resident flora of human skin. Some of the resident flora are causative of the nosocomial infections. Therefore, we have to be more careful against compromised host.
