Abstract:

According to the Romanian Ministry of Health, nosocomial infection (NI) is the infection acquired in hospitals or other health care facilities with beds and refers to "any disease which can be clinically or microbiologically recognized affecting either the patient, because of his admission to hospital or care received as a patient or outpatient hospital or the medical staff due to its activity, whether or not symptoms occur while the person is in
hospital." In our research, for some of the bacteria present in the selected samples group suspected of there were performed susceptibility/resistance tests to frequently used antibiotics. The germs in question were mainly resistant to antibiotics. The results support the suspected presence of NI, known to be due to germs from a multi-resistant hospital
flora. Susceptibility was not good at any of the tested antibiotics, as expected for NI bacteria, which are often multi-drug resistant.
We observed that the phenomenon of nosocomial infections exists, it is not
frequent, but usually not reported. In the present study, from the total number of 3,248 completed antibiograms
