Abstract

Background and Objectives: The microbiological monitoring of the water used for HAEMODIALYSIS is important especiallyfor LEGIONELLA and non-fermentative bacteria since patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are suffering from deterioratedfunction of immune system.Materials and Methods: A total 50 water and dialysate samples were weekly collected over a period of 10 weeksfrom 5 sites. Total and faecal coliforms were determined by utilizing the most probable number (MPN) method.For isolation of LEGIONELLA, water samples were inoculated on a BCYE medium. DNA extraction was performedand was used to amplify 16S rRNA gene of LEGIONELLA species. Airborne bacteria were sampled using a single stageAndersen air sampler.Results: Out of total 50 water samples, 24 samples had bacterial contamination. The highest rate of LEGIONELLA contaminationwas observed in the storage tank (67 cfu/ml). LEGIONELLA was not isolated from the dialysate effluent samples. The highestrate of total bacterial count was related to the dialysate effluent and the maximum total count of coliforms was related tothe reverse osmosis. The isolated bacteria were Gram-negative bacilli (mostly Pseudomonas isolates), Gram-positive cocci(mostly Micrococcus spp.) and Gram-positive bacilli (mostly Bacillus spp.). Six samples were contaminated with coliforms.No faecal coliform was isolated from the samples.Conclusion: These results indicated that dialysis machine is an important source of contaminations such as Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and LEGIONELLA. Therefore an efficient prevention program is needed to eliminate bacterial contamination ofdialysis water system. Moreover, in HAEMODIALYSIS centres, periodic surveillance programs for MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALIFICATIONcan lead to a better planning for disinfection of HAEMODIALYSIS water systems.
