目的:日本社会对移动的洗浴服务(MBS)的需求正在增加。因此,我们评估了MBS客户和他们的照顾者MBS相关感染的风险,通过检查MBS设备和器具的细菌定植:通过邮票琼脂培养法收集的细菌分离株进行了检查,通过纸片扩散试验,其敏感性以下药物:亚胺培南,环丙沙星,阿米卡星,氨曲南,头孢他啶,美罗培南,哌拉西林,妥布霉素,氧氟沙星和头孢哌酮。结果:从不同采样点共分离到54株铜绿假单胞菌,其中26株(47.3%)来自枕头。18株(33.3%)对亚胺培南(IPM)耐药。17株菌的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)在16 ~ 32 μ g/ml之间,1株菌的MIC大于32 μ g/ml。SpeI-PFGE分型结果显示,18株分离株中有13株亲缘关系较近(F=1.0-0.87)。结论:MBS设备和用具,尤其是枕头,是细菌污染和传播的主要来源,MBS患者及其照顾者存在MBS介导的感染风险。
Objectives: The demand for mobile bathing service (MBS) is increasing in the Japanese society. Therefore, we assessed the risk of MBS-associated infection in MBS clients and their caregivers by examining the bacterial colonization of MBS equipment and utensils.Methods: Bacterial isolates collected by the stamp agar culture method were examined by disk diffusion assay for their susceptibility to the following drugs: imipenem, ciprofloxacin, amikacin, azutreonam, ceftazidim, meropenem, piperacillin, tobramycin, ofloxacin and cefoperazone. Furthermore, these isolates were subtyped by SpeI-pulsed field gel electrophoresis (SpeI-PFGE).Results: Fifty-four P aeruginosa isolates were recovered from different sampling sites, and of these, 26 (47.3%) were isolated from pillows. Eighteen isolates (33.3%) were imipenem (IPM) resistant. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 17 isolates were between 16 and 32 mu g/ml, and the MIC of one isolate was greater than 32 mu g/ml. The SpeI-PFGE typing of IPM-resistant isolates revealed that 13 of the 18 isolates were closely related (F=1.0-0.87).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that MBS equipment and utensils, particularly pillows, are the primary sources of bacterial contamination and transmission and that there is a risk of MBS-mediated infection among MBS clients and their caregivers.
