Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: We surveyed environmental surfaces in our clinical microbiology laboratory one at Reference laboratory, Benghazi and other at Pediatric Hospital Laboratory to determine bacterial contamination during a routine working day. This study aimed to identify the extent of contamination of surfaces. Microbes may transmitte from surfaces to working staff in the Laboratories or the visiting people who visited to the laboratories for the purpose of delivering sample or receiving report. Sample of swabs were taken from some surfaces most frequently used by the workers from the reference laboratory, and some swabs taken from the Laboratory in Pediatric Hospital. The samples were cultured on the blood agar media. The contamination identified in the reference laboratory were 54(85.70%) out of 63 samples however, in Pediatric Hospital Laboratory were 15(71.40%) out of 21 samples. Conformity test was done for bacteria using Phoenix 100. The Recommendations includes personal protection and good hygienic condition of the Laboratory Environment.
