Abstract
Introduction: The objective of the study was to compare the germs found on hospital surfaces and those found in biological fluids parturient hospitalized in public hospitals in Lubumbashi.
Methods: Data collection was performed on the surfaces by swabbing, by using ISO/DIS 14698-1. Similarly, samples are biological fluids were taken and all samples were analyzed in the laboratory of the university clinics in Lubumbashi to investigate the susceptibility and antibiotype. Kappa coefficient was used to study the correlation between the identified germs on hospital surfaces and those found in biological fluids parturient at p≤ 0.05 significance.
Results: The showed antibiotype that the isolated germs on surfaces are the same strains as those isolated in pus, blood, and urine of pregnant women. However, we noted a significant correlation of 0.02 between the surfaces germs and bacteria isolated in the liquid surgical site. The likelihood had a woman in labor to hospital in public obstetrical middle Lubumbashi to contract a nosocomial infection (NI) in a surface containing the same speed as that at issue in this infection was 14.3% for Citrobacter freundi, 58.6% for Escherichia coli, 19.2% for Klebsiella spp, 28.6% and this was nevertheless concordance negligible (0.10). We noticed that as long as hospital hygiene conditions improved, that is, with a high score, the risk of nosocomial infections decreased.
Conclusion: The hospital environment contributes to the occurrence of (NI) in these public hospitals; however, note that there are several factors that influence the occurrence of these infections.
