Infection by the organisms on the anesthetic apparatuses and the operating the-atres is one of the important problems.
Authors have studied the distribution of the organisms that have been isolated from the anesthetic apparatuses and the operating theatres of the some hospitals in Chung-Nam province.
We have tested antibacterial activity ana sensitivity by disinfectants and antib-iotics.
The results are follows
1. Eleven strains of organisms were isolated from the anesthetic apparatuses and the operating theatres:-
Staphylococcus, B. subtilis, Pseudomonas, E. coli, Yeast-forms, both Gram posit-ive or negative cocci and bacilli and Fungus.
2. Antibacterial acivity was more stronger in higher temperature . (50C) than in lower temperature (20C) and in comparison of effects between different concentra-tions, there was not any noted difference in phenol group and benzalkonium group but in hygiene group, antibacterial activity was increased by increasing the conc-entration.
3. Staphylococci, gram negative bacilli, gram negative cocci, and gram positive yeast-foams were sensitive to mjaority of antibiotics but other organisms were resistant to almost antibiotics.
