MUNOZ ESCOBEDO, José Jesús et al. Pathogenic Aerobic Bacteria isolated from cellular telephones of staff and students at the Clinic Multidisciplinary (CLIMUZAC) of the unit academic of dentistry UAZ. AVFT [online]. 2012, vol.31, n.2, pp.23-31. ISSN 0798-0264.

Background: In 1861 Senneleweis showed that bacteria are being transmitted to patients through contaminated hands of workers in the health. In 1871 Cozanitis and coworkers described the bacterial contamination of telephones in intensive care. A study of Dial A. Phone of the United Kingdom, ensures that the phones are carriers of a myriad of bacteria. They saw that he had more dirt in a cell phone that the handle and a door, a computer keyboard, the sole sole of a shoe and even the seat of a public bath. Karabay and coworkers, isolated bacteria associated with hospital infections that were Escherichia Coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia. Objective: Identify the genres or species bacterial pathogens aerobic of cellular telephones of staff and students of CLIMUZAC of the UAO/UAZ. Method: 1.-Implementation of surveys on measures of grooming cellular and collection of samples. 2.- Processing in bacteriological culture media, physiological tests, morphological, tintoriales and biochemical for identification. Results: The 63 percent of respondents makes no cleaning of the phone. The use in the area of clinical work is 81 percent. The bacteria identified were: Staphylococcus sp. 16.7%, Staphylococcus Aureus 38.7%, Klebsiella sp. 11.6%, Klebsiella pneumoniae 0.6%, Shigella sp. 10.3%, Streptococcus sp. 8.3%, Steptoccocuspneumoniae 0.6%, Microccocus sp. 0.6%, Pseudomonas sp. 1.9%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 0.6%, Enteroccocus faecalis 3.2%, Salmonella sp. 1.9%, Bacteroides Vulgaris 0.6%, Escherichia coli 1.9%. Conclusions: The totalities of the sampled are carriers of pathogenic bacteria. What justifies the importance of the restriction of the cell phones in areas of clinical work or in any area providers of health, so as to contribute to the prevention of cross-infection by the use of phones, which serve as a deposit and vector of pathogenic bacteria.
