Microbiological hazard for patients caused by bacteria present on synantropic arthropods in hospital environment
نویسنده
چکیده
Arthropods in hospital are undesirable elements. However, they invaded hospitals such as other places in urban environment. Arthropods such as cockroaches, houseflies, ants, mosquitoes, spiders could take part in transferring pathogens that might be source of infection. Many authors reported arthropods that occur in hospitals and are important factor in worsening the health of patients (infections, stress, anxiety, allergy, asthma), especially person with decreased immunity.

متن کاملMicrobiological Biohazards Associated with Occupational Allergies
Microbiological occupational allergens usually originate from a part or products of bacteria, fungi, or arthropods. They may be harmful on their own or their impact may come from cross-reactions of their substance. It is mostly the respiratory system, conjunctiva, and skin that are affected. This short review clarifies the microbiological biohazards associated with occupational allergies.
