Özet
Nosocomial infection is an important problem in all modern hospitals. Hospital operating rooms (OR) and intensive care units (ICU) are the workplaces that need the highest hygiene standards. This study was conducted in intensive care units, operating rooms and neonatal intensive care units of Meram Medical Faculty Hospital of Selcuk University. Air Ideal machine was used for sampling the air and aspirates air through a perforated plate, which results in impaction of particles from an air stream onto the surface of agar medium. Thus, all of samples from different clinics were inoculated into blood agar and incubated aerobically 24 hours at 37°C. The isolated microorganisms were coagulase negative staphylococci, non-fermentative gram negatives and spore forming rods. On average counts of particle were 8160 cfu/m3 bacteria in neonatal intensive care units, 610 cfu/m3 bacteria in reanimation intensive care units, 2308 cfu/m3 bacteria in general surgery intensive care units, 2491 cfu/m3 bacteria in operating rooms. It is useful to determine the particle number in critical area in hospital in addition other infection prevention procedure.
