Abstract

Introduction: Patients are confined to bed in hospital are be exposed to nosocomial infections. Staphylococcal among MEDICAL PERSONNEL may be transferred bacteria to patients and causes infection. The aim of this investigation is to be determine the frequency of staphylococcal CARRIERs in MEDICAL PERSONNEL of teaching hospital in Semnan. Materials and Methods: Samplings from MEDICAL PERSONNEL and control group were drawn by census and simple random methods, respectively. This investigation lasted from March 98 to October 99. In MEDICAL PERSONNEL 426 and in control group 360 persons (student of medical faculty and nonmedical personnel) were tested. By means of a swab, which was wetted in sterile normal saline, sampling from left and right nasal cavities performed and cultured on Blood agar media. After 24hrs of incubation and by means of Gram's staining, catalase test, culture on M.S.A and coagulase test, coagulase positive STAPHYLOCOCCI Aureus identified and antibiogram test by Kirby-Bauers method was carried out. Results: In MEDICAL PERSONNEL group 120 (28.16%) and in control group 90 (25%) CARRIER of coagulase positive STAPHYLOCOCCI identified so there wasn't any significant difference between two groups. Species which isolated from MEDICAL PERSONNEL were sensitive to Vancomycin (88.3%), Co-trimoxasole (83.3%), Gentamycin (83.3%), Erythromycin (70%), Tetracyclin (43.3%) and were resistant to Penicillin and Cephalotin. The control group was more sensitive than MEDICAL PERSONNEL group. Discussion: Although there is no significant difference between CARRIERs of Staphylococcus Aureus in two groups, Staphylococcus CARRIER among the MEDICAL PERSONNEL group in Semnan were less than ones other similar investigations. The species were isolated from MEDICAL PERSONNEL in this investigation were remarkably sensitive to Co-trimoxasole but in the most similar investigations the species were resistant. The sensitivity to Vancomycin was lower than other investigations.
