MICROBIOTA OF ENVIRONMENT OBJECTS AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT OF PATIENTS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES DEPARTMENT AT NATIONAL HOSPITAL OF PEDIATRICS IN HANOI, VIETNAM

Abstract

We studied the microbiota structure of environment objects and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract of patients in infectious diseases department at National Hospital of Pediatrics in Hanoi, Vietnam. We identified 94 strains of bacteria from the mucous membrane of the nose and throat of children and 69 strains from the department environment objects.The microbiological study results of the selected material samples showed differences in the microbiota structure colonizing patients and the department environment objects.Thus, we revealed a predominance of non-fermentative gram-negative bacteria, the main representatives of which were microorganisms of the Acinetobacter species in biotopes of children, while on hospital environment objects gram-positive bacteria occupied the main share in the microbiota structure. It has been established that the microbial landscape in the infectious diseases department was very diverse.
