[The asepsis problem at the office of the ENT physician].
Microorganisms were determined in a microbiological study in the near environment of ENT working places. We found especially saprophytic flora as Micrococcus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis and aerobic spore-forming microorganisms on 54 examination instruments of 2 outpatient and 2 inpatient treatment areas. In 22% of the instrument examinations, microbiological controls were negative. There were no pathogenic microorganisms.
