[Bacteriological examination of the skin of patients who are to undergo cardiac surgery].
A study was carried out with patients who would undergo surgical intervention due to congenital heart malformations; skin samples were taken for bacteriological cultures in the preoperative period, both in the ward and the operating room, in order to determine if there are differences and if pathogenic organisms are present. The paper points out a high positiveness to negative coagulase staphylococcus and discusses the possible pathogenicity.
