This study aims to characterize the bacterial species inside closed infant incubators in a high temperature, high humidity environment and to determine the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfecting such incubators. We compared the effectiveness of different cleaning methods: we cleaned one group of incubators in use with disinfectant and another group using a dry wipe without any disinfectants. We did not detect any bacteria from both incubator groups. These results suggest that a high temperature, high humidity environment alone does not increase the amount of bacteria inside an incubator without any other predisposing factors. This implies that the bacteria detected inside an incubator originates from a newborn infant who acquires a bacterial flora after birth or through increased opportunities for contamination through treatment and care.

本研究旨在研究高温、高湿环境下封闭式婴儿恒温箱内的细菌种类，并确定对恒温箱进行清洁和消毒的有效性。我们比较了不同清洁方法的效果：一组使用消毒剂清洁，另一组使用不含消毒剂的干抹布清洁。我们没有在两个培养组中检测到任何细菌。这些结果表明，在没有任何其他诱发因素的情况下，仅高温、高湿环境不会增加培养箱内的细菌数量。这意味着在培养箱内检测到的细菌来源于出生后获得细菌菌群的新生儿，或者通过治疗和护理增加了被污染的机会。
