Abstract
An environmental monitoring was carried out in order to identify the sites more at risk of contamination in a Tuscan hospital. 2000 microbiological analyses were made on water, air and surfaces in orthopeadic, bone-marrow transplant and neonatal wards. Detections and evaluations regarded total colony count at 22°C and 37°C, Pseudomonas spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus spp., Staph. aureus, total and faecal coliforms, enterococci, motile Aeromonas, Legionella spp., L. pneumophila. Pathogenic microorganisms were isolated such as Legionella pneumophila, Ps aeruginosa and Aeromonas hydrophila.
