Both blood agar and MacConkey plates were used for the isolation of
bacteria from the environments of two hospitals in Nablus. Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococci were isolated from saline
solution kept in glass bottles for washing and cleansing wounds,
suction machines, respirators, endotracheal tubings, oxygen pumps and
sinks. Alcaligenes odorans was isolated from the suction machines and
Dettol solution. Aeromonas species were isolated from deionized water
and sinks, the implications of these findings were also discussed.
