⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

In the study nasal swab specimens of 1115 individuals and faecal specimens of 1061 individuals were bacteriologically investigated.Results: The nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was found to be significantly more common in the workers who have no health insurance and who never had a medical and bacteriological examination for carrier screening (P < 0.05).Conclusion: This result supports that periodical health examination is a necessity for food industry workers.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, gıda sanayii işçilerinde burunda Staphylococcus aureus ve dışkıda Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes ve Escherichia coli O157:H7 taşıyıcılığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem ve gereç: Çalışma esnasında işçilerle yüz yüze görüşülerek demografik bilgiler, çalışma süresi ve periyodik tıbbi muayenelerle ilgili 9 sorudan oluşan anket formu dolduruldu. Çalışmada 1115 kişinin burun sürüntü örneklerinde ve 1061 kişinin dışkı örneklerinde bakteriyolojik araştırma yapıldı.Bulgular: Metisiline Dirençli Staphylococcus aureus burun taşıyıcılığı sağlık karnesi olmayan, tıbbi muayene ve bakteriyolojik olarak taşıyıcılık taraması yapılmayan işçilerde daha sık bulundu (P < 0,05). Sonuç: Bu sonuç gıda endüstrisinde çalışanlar için periyodik sağlık muayenesinin gerekliliğini desteklemektedir.
