Finding F-1597

“In this work, the mean bacterial load in the indoor air of all studied wards, OR, and ICU in AMGH taken together was found to be 1914±1081.4 CFU/m3 (95% CI: 1718.5–2109.4 CFU/m3 ).”

Structure

Factor: Airborne bacteria
Method: Air quality monitoring
Setting: hospital ward, ET
Study design: cross-sectional study of hospital wards: bacterial and fungal load of the indoor air determined by the settle plate method in different wards, with the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates (class 4)
Effect: mean 1914 (1718.5–2109.4)
Caveat: settle plates, a passive method, so the value is a deposition measure converted to a volume concentration
