The safety problem for neonates and puerperas in the facilities of Nizhni Novgorod and its region

The paper gives the results of a comprehensive assessment of the epidemiological situation and the characteristics of the sensitivity of the microflora in the obstetric facilities of Nizhni Novgorod and its region to antibacterial drugs (antibiotics, disinfectants). There is a wide circulation of the strains that are adapted to the conditions of a health care facility of this kind and polyresistant to antibiotics and disinfectants in the environment of obstetric facilities. The structure of isolated microorganisms shows a species-specific diversity (4 genera and 22 species) with a preponderance of Staphylococcus spp.; there is a high proportion of polyresistent strains (24.3 to 71.4%) in various health care facilities and there is a high resistance to disinfectants (9.1-50% resistant strains). Studies have been under way to choose effective disinfectants.
