Research Investigates Antibiotic Resistance in Delivery Room Environments

 

Candidate: Alaa Mohammed Mahmoud

Thesis Title: Occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in delivery rooms and its association with disinfectants.

Key Findings & Field Analysis

Conducted across Basrah Teaching, Al-Mawanee, and Maternity hospitals, the study revealed that disinfectant dilution ratios often deviate from manufacturer standards. Furthermore, bacteria isolated from delivery rooms demonstrated high resistance to standard antibiotic treatments.

Strategic Recommendations:

  • Mandatory sensitivity testing prior to prescribing antibiotics for patients.
  • Comprehensive training for delivery room staff on disinfectant handling and dilution.
  • Installation of advanced water sterilization filters within hospital infrastructures.
