Abstract

|
|
An analysis was performed on characteristics of staphylococci isolated from 62 patients on the first, 4th and 7th hospital day, of staphylococci isolated from nasal cavities of 73 hospital employees, and of staphylococci isolated from the air of 16 places in Choong Nam University Hospital from May to Aug., 1974.
The results were as follows:
1) The pollution rate by staphylococci in the air in the hospital was 35.6%. Coagulase test was positive in 14.7% of total bacterial colonies, and in 41.3% of isolated staphylococci.
2) The isolation rate of staphylococci from the nasal cavities of hospital employees was 83.5% and coagulase test was positive in 62.2%.
3) Isolation rates of staphylococci from the nasal cavities of patients were 70.3
on the first hospital day, 77.4% on the 4th day and 85.4% on the 7th day.
4) There was no specific differnces of antibiotic resistance between staphy-Iococci isolated from the air and from the nasal cavities of hospital employees, but there was the tendency of the increasing rate of appearing antibiotic-resistant strains according to the time lapse of hospitalization in the nasal cavities of patients.
5) The drugs which had been used with wide popularity in the province such as Streptomycin, Terramycin and ChioramphenicoI, had a higher resistance rate from the beginning of hospitalization.
6) Leucomycin was the most sensitive drug to isolated staphylococci in this study.
