Resumen
ARROYAVE, Esteban et al. Isolation and identification of bacteria with nosocomial potential from environments and surfaces of a veterinary university clinic of Metropolitan area of Aburra Valley Antioquia-Colombia. Infect. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.227-233. ISSN 0123-9392. https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v23i3.785.
Introduction:
Care associated infections are of importance in human medicine but few is known in veterinary medicine.
Aims:
To identify pathogenic bacteria in surfaces of veterinary clinics.
Materials and methods:
Two samples with cotton hissops were obtained in inert surfaces from 8 veterinary clinics. The presence of pathogenic bacteria was established by growth in agar media, identification of species was performed through colonies morphology and Gram stain and biochemistry identification with API20E and API50 CH/E system and antibiogram.
Results:
95 isolates were characterized and within them 28 were pathogenic. The most prevalent were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.
Conclusions:
This is the first description of pathogenic microorganisms present in veterinary clinics in Antioquia that have potential for clinical consequences for personnel working at this veterinary centers.
