背景:病人之间的医院病原体传播与医务工作者携带细菌的短期定植有关,研究建议医务工作者的衣服污染,包括白大褂,可能是病菌传播的途径。
Methods:We performed a cross-sectional study involving attendees of medical and surgical grand rounds at a large teaching hospital to investigate the prevalence of contamination of white coats with important nosocomial pathogens, such as methicillin-sensitive Stapylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Each participant completed a brief survey and cultured his or her white coat using a moistened culture swab on lapels, pockets, and cuffs.
方法:我们进行横断面研究,涉及在大型教学医院的医疗和手术的大查房参加调查的白大褂污染具有重要的院内感染的病原体,如甲氧西林敏感的Stapy lococcus金黄色葡萄球菌,耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的患病率,和耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)。每名参加者完成一个简短的调查并且改变了他或她的白大衣,翻领,口袋,袖口的湿化情况。
ResultsAmong the 149 grand rounds attendees' white coats, 34 (23%) were contaminated with S aureus, of which 6 (18%) were MRSA. None of the coats was contaminated with VRE. S aureus contamination was more prevalent in residents, those working in inpatient settings, and those who saw an inpatient that day.
结果:在149大查房出席者者的白大衣中,34(23%),金黄色葡萄球菌,其中有6个(18%)被葡萄球菌污染。抗万古霉素肠球菌的大衣没有被污染。金黄色葡萄球菌污染的居民,在住院部工作,和那些他们见一天病人的尤为明显。
ConclusionThis study suggests that a large proportion of health care workers' white coats may be contaminated with S aureus, including MRSA. White coats may be an important vector for patient-to-patient transmission of S aureus.
结论:这项研究表明,大比例的医护人员的白大褂,可能与金黄色葡萄球菌,包括MRSA污染。白大衣,可为病人门诊金黄色葡萄球菌的传播的重要载体。
