estabelecer o perfil de sensibilidade das espécies encontradas; e avaliar as medidas de higienização adotadas e o nível de conhecimento sobre contaminação microbiana. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo analítico transversal, no qual foram aplicados questionários e coletadas amostras das superfícies e capas dos aparelhos celulares. As amostras foram semeadas nos meios ágar sangue e MacConkey, e a identificação bacteriana ocorreu pela aplicação de provas específicas. Foi realizado o teste de sensibilidade antimicrobiana pelo método de difusão de discos. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 38 profissionais. Foram detectadas bactérias em 94,7% dos celulares, predominando espécies Gram-positivas (82,2%) e, dentre essas, 89,1% mostraram-se resistentes à penicilina G. A espécie mais prevalente foi Staphylococcus aureus (51,1%). A maioria dos investigados relatou fazer uso do celular em todos os lugares (97,4%) e durante o atendimento (78,9%), 76,3% compartilhavam com outras pessoas, 68,4% realizavam a lavagem das mãos antes ou após utilizá-lo e antes do atendimento aos pacientes (92,1%) e 39,4% faziam a limpeza mais de uma vez na semana com álcool 70% (57,9%). Além disso, a maioria apresentou um nível de conhecimento satisfatório sobre a contaminação microbiana dos telefones móveis; no entanto, as amostras estavam significativamente contaminadas. CONCLUSÃO: Ressalta-se a importância da adoção de medidas corretas de higienização pessoal e dos dispositivos, de modo a reduzir a propagação de bactérias entre os profissionais e os pacientes.
We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic in the soil of three beaches of Mosqueiro Island, located in the State of Pará, Brazil, as well as to compare the frequency of helminths and protozoa, pathogenic and non-pathogenic parasites according to the beaches analyzed. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted during August and September 2019, in which 155 soil samples were analyzed by Hoffman's method. Results: The results showed that 16.1% of samples were contaminated from 61.3% of collection points. Murubira beach and Farol beach presented the highest prevalence of parasites, however, there was no significant difference between beaches. Also, it was observed a predominance of protozoa (63%) and non-pathogenic parasites (55.6%) in analyzed samples, but there was no statistically significant difference according to the investigated location. Endolimax nana 25.9% (7/27) and hookworms 18.5% (5/27) were the most detected parasites on the beaches. Conclusion: Thus, this study showed parasitic contamination on the beaches from Mosqueiro Island, which may be associated with a lack of sanitation infrastructure and personal hygiene in these places. Therefore, these results reinforce the need to adopt educational and preventive measures to reduce parasitic agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
