title: [Ways of transmitting wound infection pathogens at a hospital].
abstract: The authors studied the epidemiological situation in a surgical clinic on the basis of examination of 12,000 case histories in the course of several years. Microbiological examinations were carried out of 1438 samples with the purpose of assessing the microbial picture of the wounds of patients and all factors of the environment which could participate in infection due to pathogens of conventional nature. The most frequent pathogens of the wounds were staphylococci--65.6 +/- 6.0%. In the course of observation one established a continuous chain of infections due to presence of sources of pathogens of wound infections, the carriers of which were medical staff, medical students and patients in 19 +/- 2.8%.
