Abstract

Considering that the hospital infection is related to the nursing workers, we developed this study with 27 nursing professionals of a surgical center of Belo Horizonte city to identify the present microbial flora in different ranches, the enterotoxinas produced by stumps of S. aureus and the sensibility test to antimicrobiotics. The collected material was submitted to microbiological exams. We have identified workers with S.aureus; S.epidermidis; Klebsiella sp.; Proteus sp.; Enterobacter sp.; Pseudomonas and S. saprofhyticus. Of the stumps of found S.aureus, 83,3% produce toxins, TSST and enterotoxins A and B. The resistance to the antimicrobiotics was developed, mainly by stumps of S. epidermidis and S. aureus.
