Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify pathogenic bacteria on the hands of healthcare workers at Vinh Medical University Hospital in 2021. Subjects and methods: Direct medical staffs participate in patient care at clinical departments of Vinh University of Medicine Hospital in 2021. Study design: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis. Results: Among 39 hand samples of health workers randomly selected, we isolated 166 bacterial strains and 15 fungal strains. The majority of healthcare workers' hands contained 3 to 4 different species of bacteria, accounting for 46.1%. There was 1 hand sample (2.6%) containing up to 10 species of bacteria. There were 43.6% of hand samples of health workers carrying S. aureus, 53.8% carrying S. epidermidis, 15.4% carrying A. baumannii, 2.6% carrying Salmonella spp and 38, 5% carrying Candida spp. Conclusion: The microbiota of health workers' hands is quite rich with many genera and species. In which, many isolated bacteria are important pathogens such as S. aureus, A. baumannii, Salmonella spp,... and Candida spp. Therefore, it is necessary to follow routine hand hygiene in order to eliminate or reduce these microorganisms, limiting hospital infections in current conditions.
