Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Hospital environments are potential reservoirs of bacteria associated with nosocomial infections. In this study, the distribution of cultivable environmental bacteria of clinical importance from a Malaysian tertiary hospital was determined and their resistotypes and genotypes were investigated. METHODS: Swab and fluid samples (n=358) from healthcare workers' hands, frequently touched surfaces, medical...
