AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICIÊNCIA DE ANTISSÉPTICOS USADOS EM UM HOSPITAL GERAL DE BELO HORIZONTE

Abstract

The present study aims to test the bacterial inhibition capacity of the antiseptics Chlorhexidine, Topical PVP-I and Degermantizing PVP-1 standardized in a General Hospital in Belo Horizonte for the survival of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa multi resistant, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens multi resistant, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Burkholderia cepacia in contact with the aforementioned antiseptics. The antiseptic efficacy will guarantee ideal hospital working conditions, avoiding contamination and possible infections and bacterial outbreaks in patients who are already immunodeficient, reducing hospitalization time and hospital costs, in addition to the patient's well-being. On the other hand, bacterial growth during antiseptic contact will indicate to the Hospital Infection Control Commission (CCIH) the need to improve the way these solutions are handled within the hospital unit or even replace them with more effective ones, such as disposable units The analysis of the 03 antiseptics, which were weekly reprocessed in oil drums, was carried out by successive washings in saline solution and planting in TSA medium, and allowed to evaluate the bacterial inhibition capacity of these three solutions. The results obtained reveal a deficiency in one of the Topic PVP-1 batches, either during its industrial processing, or during reprocessing in the hospital environment for the presence of multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
