[Considerations regarding the nosocomial potential of surgical wards].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of multiresistant germs with nosocomial potential and their main resistance phenotype and genotype patterns in surgical departments.


METHODS
Identification of germs was performed by the API system (BioMerieux France) and susceptibility tests by disk-diffusion tests, (CLSI standards) with automatic reading methods (Osiris-Bio Rad Laboratories). ESBL producing E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have been also genotyped.


RESULTS
From 190 samples (urines, wound secretions, blood, etc.); we isolated 106 microbial strains with nosocomial potential. 56 (52.83%) from these strains were represented by enterobacteria, 26 (24.52%) by Gram negative non-fermentative rods, and 24 (22.64%) by Gram positive cocci.


CONCLUSIONS
We noticed a high prevalence of multidrug resistant germs (ESBL, MRSA, etc). The majority of them were involved in nosocomial surgical site and urinary tract infections.
