The health care environment presents numerous risks making it anharmful place, propitious to colonization and development of infections. Inserted in this scenario are the healthcare workers which are vulnerable to the carrier condition. and the oral cavity represents an important site of colonization. This study aimed to characterize the phenotype of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from the oral cavity of healthcare workers from an oncologic reference hospital in the central area of Brazil. We also aimed to detect co-colonization by Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas, as well as describe the profile socio-demographic, professional, disease/infection and behavioral of individuals colonized by Enterobacteriaceae. It was a descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted from May/2009 to November/2010 and saliva was collected a from each subjected. A total of 294 individuals participated in the research, being 149 healthcare members and 145 from the support team. The microbiological procedures were performed according to recommended techniques and data collection obtained by a questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics. Among the participants, 55 (18.7%) were colonized by Enterobacteriaceae in the oral cavity. Were isolated 64 bacteria, including species potentially pathogenic. The most prevalent specie was gergoviae Enterobacter (17.2%). The highest rates of resistance were observed to β-lactams and 48.4% of isolates were considered multiresistant. The Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) production was negative for the Enterobacteriaceae and none Klebsiella pneumoniae produced Carbapenemase (KPC). However, among the 43 CESP isolates group (Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Serratia, Providencia), 51.2% produced AmpC β- lactamase by induction and 48.8% were hiper producers. Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas were detected in the saliva of 56.4% individuals. The majory of the healthcare workers colonized by Enterobacteriaceae was men over 40 years. The nursing technician was the professional category most colonized (52.7%), followed by the cleaning staff (23.6%). The cleaning and hygiene sector (23.6%) and nursing stations (18.2%) represented the largest number of workers colonized. Some professionals (27.3%) had second job in another health service, while 41.8% remained in the institution around 40 hours or more a week. Some infection was reported among carriers, as tonsillitis, sinusitis and pharyngitis, being the first the most frequent (52.7%). Enterobacteriaceae carriage (18.2%) reported the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as unnecessary to their s activity, 7.3% did not use the mask as precautionary measure, 23.6% realized sporadically the exchange of mask and 1.8 % never changed. The use of oral antiseptics was observed in 29.1% of the workers, the recent use of antimicrobials in 16.4% and self-medication in 27.3%. Among the colonized persons was observed lack of knowledge about multiresistant microorganisms. The prevalence Enterobacteriaceae carriage is considered high and the resistance is a problem especially due to multidrug resistance and production of β-lactamase AmpC observed. The results of this research contribute with important subsidies to the programs for nosocomial infections prevention and control of, since knowledge of carrier status reduces the risk of transmission of microorganisms.
