Abstrakt: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of some bacterial growth in dialysis system unit. It was found that out of 50 samples which were collected from different sites of dialysis system, 18 (36%) revealed positive bacterial growth while 32 (64%) recorded as negative culture. The highest percent of those bacterial species belong to Staph aureus (52.2%) followed by both Staph epidermides and E. coli (17.4%) (P<0.05). Both of Staph aureus and Staph epidermides were also identified in nasal and hand swabs obtained from males and females of nursing staff. In conclusion there is a frequency of bacterial contamination in dialysis unit that might be belong to the measure of prevention and controlling bacterial growth and precautions that had been followed by all health care workers. In spite of that the occurrence and emerging of the resistant bacteria as a contaminant or a source of infection to those immunosuppressed patients must not been neglected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
