Resumo: Objective: to analyze bacterial growth in samples collected from the hands of health professionals after hygiene with soap and water. Methods: cross-sectional analytical study, carried out with healthcare professionals by collecting samples (print) from the digital pulp of the dominant hand on plates containing chromogenic culture medium for microbiological analysis regarding the presence of colonies. Fisher’s and Chi-square tests were used. Results: 73 samples were collected and 67 (91.8%) showed bacterial growth. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 19 (26.0%). A significant association between colonies with multidrug-resistance profile and the time of performance (p=0.030) and profession (p=0.041) was highlighted. Conclusion: there was bacterial growth in samples after hand hygiene, with higher growth of multidrug-resistant bacteria among nursing professionals and those with longer time of work. These results may contribute to detect the gaps about the measures adopted for infection prevention.

Métodos: estudo transversal analítico, realizado com profissionais de saúde por meio da coleta de amostras (print) das polpas digitais da mão dominante, em placas contendo meio de cultura cromogênico, para análise microbiológica em relação à presença das colônias. Utilizaram-se o Teste de Fisher e Qui-quadrado. Resultados: foram coletadas 73 amostras e 67 (91,8%) apresentaram crescimento bacteriano. O Staphylococcus aureus metilcilina resistente foi detectado em 19 (26,0%). Destaca-se associação significativa entre colônias com perfil de multirresistência e o tempo de atuação (p=0,030) e profissão (p=0,041). Conclusão: houve crescimento bacteriano nas amostras após higiene das mãos, com maior crescimento de bactérias multirresistentes entre profissionais de enfermagem e àqueles com maior tempo de atuação. Estes resultados podem contribuir para detectar as lacunas acerca das medidas adotadas para a prevenção de infeções.Universidade Federal do Ceará2021-09-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/7093810.15253/2175-6783.20212270938Rev Rene; Vol 22 (2021): Rev Rene; e70938Rev Rene; v. 22 (2021): Rev Rene; e709382175-67831517-3852reponame:Rev Rene (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporenghttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/70938/197331http://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/70938/197332Copyright (c) 2021 Rev Renehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAndrade, Ana Beatriz Silva deBrun, Larissa Sousa OlivaBrandão, PriscilaGoulart, Maithê de Carvalho e Lemos Carvalho, Cristiane Albuquerque deÁvila, Fernanda Maria Vieira Pereira2021-09-09T12:15:07Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/70938Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/renePUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/oairene@ufc.br||2175-67831517-3852opendoar:2021-09-09T12:15:07Rev Rene (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
