Recovery of resistant bacteria from mattresses of patients under contact precautions.

American journal of infection control - 1 Apr 2016

Viana Roberta El Hariri, dos Santos Simone G, Oliveira Adriana C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microorganisms may contaminate hospital mattresses even after terminal cleaning. We investigated the recovery of resistant bacteria from the mattresses of patients under contact precautions at a university hospital. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study. Samples were obtained from the surface of mattresses, spread on replicate organism detection and counting plates, and cultivated at 37°C for...
