Bacteria,parasitic agents and rotaviruses associated with acute diarrhoea in hospital in-patient Indonesian children

Faeces from children (aged from one month to 12 years) with acute diarrhoea admitted to hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from June 1978 to June 1979, were examined for the presence of enteric pathogens. One or more recognized enteropathogens were identified in 56% of children. Rotaviruses were identified in 38% of all children. Toxigenic coliforms (predominantly Escherichia coli) were isolated from 12% of children. Salmonella sp. (6%), Shigella sp. (4%) and enteropathogenic parasites (predominantly Trichuris trichiura) from 3 · 5% of children. Mixed infections with two or more enteric pathogens were found in 7 · 6% of children. The incidence rate of each pathogen was correlated with age of the child, socio-economic level of the family and duration of breast feeding. Toxigenic coliforms were equally common in all age groups from both well-to-do and poor families. Enteropathogenic parasites appeared in increasing frequency with age. They were more common in artificially fed children and in children from families of low socio-economic level. The occurrence of multiple infection with mixtures of enteric pathogens increased with increasing age. Mixtures of parasites and other enteric pathogens only occurred in children with acute diarrhoea. These results provide baseline data about the relative importance of different enteropathogens in Indonesian children.     

Acute diarrhoea associated with rotavirus among children living in Belém,Brazil

Between January 1979 and December 1980, rotaviruses were detected in faecal samples from 122 (33·1%) of 369 diarrhoeic children less than six years old, living in Belém, Brazil. In 55 (45·1%) of the 122 rotavirus-positive specimens, no bacteria or parasite associated with gastro-enteritis was found. Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella and Escherichia coli were found in 92 (35%) of the 263 faecal specimens examined for bacterial pathogens. Rotaviruses were readily detected throughout the year, which may indicate no seasonal pattern of incidence in the Belém region. A comparison of the excretion of rotavirus was made between children of two socio-economic groups. Of 144 children from the higher level group, 63 (47·3%) excreted rotavirus, whereas only 12 (16·7%) of those from the lower level did so. Vomiting (68·0%) and fever (65·6%) were the main symptoms, other than diarrhoea, exhibited by the 122 rotavirus-positive children.

A comparison of the prevalence of Campylobacter,Shigellae and Salmonellae in faeces of malnourished and well nourished children in The Gambia and Northern Nigeria

The proportion of children in whom bacterial pathogens were isolated in faeces was compared in 59 malnourished and 59 age-matched well nourished children in Fajara, The Gambia, with 38 malnourished and 38 age-matched well nourished children in Malumfashi, Northern Nigeria. Campylobacters were identified more frequently in malnourished (10·2%) and well nourished (6·8%) children in The Gambia than in malnourished (2·6%) and well nourished (2·6%) children in Nigeria. Salmonellae were more frequently isolated in the malnourished Nigerian children (28·9%) than in the malnourished Gambian children (3·4%) and were present in similar proportions (5·1% and 5·3%) in well nourished children in both communities. Shigellae were isolated in a few individuals in each group. The differences in the epidemiology of these enteropathogens are discussed with respect to the differences in ecology between these two sub-Saharan, savanna communities.

Evaluation of a new disinfection procedure for ultrasound probes using ultraviolet light

Following 183 ultrasound examinations, a randomized trial was conducted to compare three procedures for disinfection of probes under routine conditions: dry wiping with a soft, dry, non-sterile paper towel, antiseptic wiping with a towel impregnated with disinfectant spray and dry wiping followed by a 10 min ultraviolet C (UVC) cycle in a disinfection chamber. After ultrasonography, swabs were taken from transducer heads before and after cleaning and streaked onto plates that were then cultured. The number of colonies per plate was counted and organisms identified. The median microbial reduction was 100% for UVC, 98.4% for antiseptic wiping and 87.5% for dry wiping (P<0.001). The percentage of negative specimens was 88% for UVC, 16% for antiseptic wiping and 4% for dry wiping (P<0.0001). Microbial flora was isolated from 12 probes (6.6%) before cleaning, whereas specimens obtained after cleaning contained no pathogens except in one case after antiseptic wiping. UVC disinfection of ultrasound probe may provide a useful method for reducing the bacterial load under routine conditions.     

Health care workers' mobile phones: a potential cause of microbial cross-contamination between hospitals and community

This study evaluated the microbial contamination of health care workers' (HCWs) mobile phones. The study was conducted at a secondary referral hospital in July 2010. Samples were taken from all surfaces of the mobile phones using a sterile swab, and incubated on Brain Heart Infusion agar at 37.5°C for 24 hr. Any isolated microorganisms were grown aerobically on 5% sheep blood agar and eosin methylene-blue agar medium at 37.5°C for 24-48 hr. The Sceptor microdilution system was used to identify the microorganisms, together with conventional methods. The oxacillin disc diffusion test and double-disc synergy test were used to identify methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative bacilli, respectively. The mobile phones were also categorized according to whether the HCWs used them in the intensive care unit (ICU). Overall, 183 mobile phones were screened: 94 (51.4%) from nurses, 32 (17.5%) from laboratory workers, and 57 (31.1%) from health care staff. In total, 179 (97.8%) culture-positive specimens were isolated from the 183 mobile phones, including 17 (9.5%) MRSA and 20 (11.2%) ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, which can cause nosocomial infections. No statistical difference was observed in the recovery of MRSA (p = 0.3) and ESBL-producing E. coli (p = 0.6) between the HCW groups. Forty-four (24.6%) of the 179 specimens were isolated from mobile phones of ICU workers, including two MRSA and nine ESBL-producing E. coli. A significant (p = 0.02) difference was detected in the isolation of ESBL-producing E. coli between ICU workers and non-ICU workers. HCWs' mobile phones are potential vectors for transferring nosocomial pathogens between HCWs, patients, and the community.
