tailieunhanh - Mobile phones used by healthcare workers: The potential role in transmission of healthcare associated infections

To identify bacterial contamination of cellular phones used by healthcare workers (HCWs) and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns of recovered isolates. In addition, we assessed the possible risk factors for contamination of mobile phones. Mobile phones were sampled from HCWs across inpatient, outpatient and intensive care wards in Mansoura Emergency Hospital. Isolated bacteria were identified and subjected to disk diffusion test to detect their antibiotic resistance patterns. Sampled mobile phones had a contamination rate of (P= ). Staphylococcus epidermidis was the commonest isolated organism (). Significant risk factors included the usage of mobile cover and lack of history of mobile phones disinfection by the HCWs. Bacterial isolates demonstrated the least antimicrobial resistance toward imipenem () and amikacin (). Out of the isolated Staphylococcus aureus, were methicillin resistant while of the isolated Gram-negative bacteria were producers of extended spectrum β-lactamases. Besides, multidrug resistant isolates constituted of the tested bacteria. We demonstrated that mobile phones may serve as a vehicle for transmission of healthcare associated infections. Therefore, education of HCWs and limitation of mobile phones usage in high-risk settings parallel to frequent disinfection of hands and mobile phones should be implemented. | Mobile phones used by healthcare workers: The potential role in transmission of healthcare associated infections
