All the patients were catheterized, and in most, bacteriuria was asymptomatic. The organism was also recovered from their hospital environment (sinks, toilets, urine-collecting basins). Analysis of total plasmid content of multiresistant isolates revealed the presence of two plasmids (7 kilobase, 25.5 kilobase), not found in aminoglycoside susceptible strains of Serratia marcescens. Restriction endonuclease analysis and Southern hybridization (DNA probe: 25.5 kilobase plasmid) verified that these plasmids were identical. The 25.5 kilobase plasmid was purified, introduced by transformation into an Escherichia coli strain C recipient, and was found to mediate resistance to gentamicin and tobramycin. The emergence of multiresistant Serratia marcescens coincided with an increase in antibiotic usage on the ward. The reservoir seemed to be the urinary tracts of asymptomatic catheterized patients and their contaminated hospital environment.","PeriodicalId":77726,"journal":{"name":"Infection control : IC","volume":"9 1","pages":"20-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14403680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the effect of preoperative antiseptic shampoos on the emergence of resident scalp flora during surgery and subsequent wound contamination, we randomized 151 neurosurgical procedures into four study groups: group A--preoperative shampoos with chlorhexidine, surgical scalp preparation with chlorhexidine; group B--no shampoos, surgical preparation with chlorhexidine; group C--shampoos with iodophor, surgical preparation with iodophor; group D--no shampoos, surgical preparation with iodophor. Quantitative cultures of the scalp were obtained preoperatively and at the end of surgery, and qualitative wound cultures were taken prior to wound closure. Group A had the lowest concentration of bacteria on the scalp both preoperatively and postoperatively (median range = 30 [0-5.7 x 10(5)] and 0 [0-2.5 x 10(3)] respectively).
