Perioperative Bacterial Contamination From Patients on Contact Precaution in Operating Room Environment

We investigated the microbial burden on the operating room environment when patients on contact precautions for a multidrug-resistant pathogen received surgery. Our study demonstrated that the perioperative environment was contaminated with aerobic bacteria and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus a...

description We investigated the microbial burden on the operating room environment when patients on contact precautions for a multidrug-resistant pathogen received surgery. Our study demonstrated that the perioperative environment was contaminated with aerobic bacteria and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) after surgery, and that MRSA persisted environmentally even after cleaning and disinfection, highlighting the need for meticulous cleaning and disinfection in the perioperative environment.
