| Popis: | Objective: Cross infection is one of the problems in dentistry. It can be caused by dental unit surfaces which act as the mediator for bacteria to enter the body. The aim of this research was to identify and test the resistance of bacteria that found on dental unit surfaces which suspected to be contaminated by patients in Dental Clinic.Methods: Using simple random sampling method, this research observed 15 samples of handle, instruments table and spittoon bowl surfaces. Bacterial contamination identified and tested for its resistance in Microbiology Laboratory of Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. Amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamycin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and cefoperazone discs were used for resistance test of bacteria.Results: There were 16 contaminations of bacteria found. 12 of them were gram-positiveBacillus spand remaining four were gram-negative bacilli which are Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and two Klebsiella sp. The resistance test showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin while both of Klebsiella sp are resistant to amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin.Conclusion: Dental unit surfaces are an important vehicle for resistance bacteria to spread. |
