Resumo
The aim of this study was to characterize the profile of workers of the oncology hospital colonized
by Enterobacteriaceae in the oral cavity. Along with bacterial colonization, socio-demographic,
professional, disease/ infection and behavioral variables were investigated. The collection of saliva
and microbiological analyses were performed using standard techniques. Data collection was
conducted through a questionnaire. Among the 55 professionals colonized by Enterobacteriaceae,
56.4% (31/55) also harbored Staphylococcus and/or Pseudomonas in the oral cavity. The most
commonly infected professionals were nursing technicians. Episodes of disease/infection were
reported among carriers. The data revealed a worrying situation in the context of healthcare. It is
hoped that these results will contribute to the prevention and control of this infection, as knowledge
of carrier status reduces the risk of microorganism transmission.
