摘要：Introduction. The operating theatre is one of the most important places in a hospital. Due to the presence of numerous
reservoirs of microorganisms and the invasiveness of surgical procedures it is necessary to ensure high hygiene standards
in these locations.
Objective. The aim of the study was to carry out a qualitative assessment of the microbiological cleanliness of the surfaces
and equipment in an operating theatre.
Materials and method. The results of microbiological tests of the surfaces and equipment of the Children’s Operating
Theatre in Clinical Provincial Hospital No. 2 in Rzeszów, southeast Poland, during 2007–2012 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results and conclusions. For the analysis, a total of 1,819 swabs were collected, of which 1.05% were positive. Positive
results were obtained mainly from samples taken from moist places (57.9%). Among the microorganisms isolated, Gramnegative
bacteria constituted the majority (57.9%), Pseudomonas bacteria were found most frequently (31,6%). Isolated
microbes can be the etiological agent of nosocomial infections.
