Lipid Profilenosocomial Bacteria

A study isolated 428 bacteria from clinical samples and environmental sites. The top three genera identified were Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Flavobacterium. 49% of isolates came from patients, with the majority from respiratory secretions (31%), peritoneal dialysis fluid and catheters (28%), and urine (25%). Nutrient agar was recommended for isolation due to supporting growth of most bacterial types.

Bacteria Commonly Related to Clinical Laboratories

According to a study 428 Organisms were Isolated, different tests were used for their identification. The genera represented were:

1- Pseudomonas 2- Acinetobacter 3- Flavobacterium

These bacteria were:

49% from Patients 32% from Environmental sites

Isolates from Patients came from: 31% Respiratory tract secretions 28% Peritoneal dialysis fluid and catheter 25% Urine 11% Wounds 5% Blood

Note: Use Nutrient (MH) agar for getting isolates, as this media allows growth for most type of bacteria
