The microbiological quality of the water used in the reconstitution of milk and in the preparation of diets was also evaluated. The results of the microbiological analyzes carried out allow us to conclude that the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the diet and lactation of the hospital studied were inadequate and that the data from this study provide support for corrective measures in the preparation of the studied diet and reiterate the need to establish continuing education programs for handlers, directly or indirectly, related to food production. As for the beds, it is concluded that their cleaning conditions are unsatisfactory, with a continuing prevalence of microorganisms. This fact highlights the risk of exchange of microorganisms between patients and the risk of hospital infection. You should rethink the sanitizer used and pay attention to the training of those responsible for cleaning. Taking into account that this is an environment that aims to recover the health of its patients, this is an alarming situation that calls for urgent corrective measures by multidisciplinary professionals.
