Abstract

 Ultrasonography machines are ideal vectors for cross infections. A busy machine may be used to scan many patients a day. The infection can be transmitted via ultrasound probes and coupling gel. Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococci, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, E. coli are frequent cause of infections in both community and hospital. Organisms isolated from unclean US probe are important nosocomial pathogens and infections due to it are difficult to manage due to resistance to multiple antibiotics. So this study aimed to determine the percentage of bacteria isolated from unclean US probes and to determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern.

Keywords: Ultrasonography; Bacteria; Antibiogram.
