충남지역의 수술실 및 마취기재의 오염도에 관한 연구 = A Study on Contamination of the Anesthetie Apparatus and the Operating Theaters of Some Hospitals in Chung-Nam Province

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Infection by organisms in the anesthetic apparatus and in the operating theater is one of the important problems.
Authors have studied the distribution of organisms that have been isolated from the anesthetic apparatuses and the operating theaters of some hospitals in Chung-Nam province.
We have tested antibacterial activity and sensitivity by disinfectants and antibiotics.
The results are follows:
1. Eleven strains of organisms were isolated from the anesthetic apparatus and the operating theatres: fstaphylococcus, B. subtilis, pseudomonas, E. coli, yeast-forms, both Gram positive or negative cocci and bacilli and fungi.
2. Antibacterial activity was stronger at a higher temperature (50℃) than at a lower temperature (20℃) and in comparison of effects between difference concentrations, there was not any noted difference in the phenol group and benzalkonium group but in the Hygien group, antibacterial activity was increased by increasing the concentratoin.
3. Staphylococci, Gram negative bacilli, Gram negati cocci, and Gram positive yeast-forms were sensitive to the majority of antibiotics but other organisms were resistantall to almost all antibiotics.
