Resumo

Enteral feeding means the nutrition for special purposes, with controlled intake of nutrients. The advantages of its use often become secondary to complications arising from its contamination, which may be associated with infectious complications. The microbial contamination of enteral feeding may occur during all steps being the handling, particularly critical. Considering the importance of enteral feeding as a therapeutic tool in hospitals and the need to guarantee the microbiological quality of the products offered to critical patients, the present work aimed to evaluate the hygienic and sanitary quality of diets and their ingredients and to identify and characterize phenotypic and genotypically, using the antibiogram and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus obtained from handlers hands and noses, water, module and enteral nutrition from two public hospital in Goiânia, Brazil in order to investigate the probable source of microbological contamination. A total of 80 samples were collected from enteral nutrition and 140 from hands and noses of handlers involved in the diets manufacturing in hospital 1 (H1), between october/2007 and november/2008 and 80 samples from enteral nutrition and 80 from hands and noses of handlers in hospital 2 (H2), between october/2008 and november/2008. From both hospitals were collected 40 samples from water and module. The samples were submitted to microbiological analysis to verify the presence and numbers of pathogenic and indicator microorganisms. E. coli and S. aureus strains were submitted to antibiogram and PFGE. According to antibiogram, all S.aureus isolates (15) from H1 were susceptible to oxacillin, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. Resistence profile was observed in 10 (66.7%) isolates for penicillin, four (26.7%) isolates for tetracycline and nine (60.0%) isolates for erythromycin, allowing to classify the strains in six different phenotypes (A-F), but it was not efficient for the determination of the bacterial source for the diets. In the H1, all (08) E. coli strains were susceptible to trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, cephalothin, gentamicin, ceftazidime and tetracycline. Resistence was observed in six (75.0%) isolates for ampicilin. In H2, all strains isolated (12) were susceptible to trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin and ceftazidime and resistence was observed in 11 isolates (91.7%) for cephalothin and 12 (100.0%) for tetracycline and ampicillin, grouping them into five different phenotypes (A-D). Microorganisms showed the same phenotypic profile from handlers and diet samples (phenotypes A and C), suggesting that in these cases, the source of microorganisms for the final product was the food handler. The genotypic typing of S. aureus strains by PFGE generated seven different DNA banding profiles and the E. coli genotyping generated five profiles. Based on the results, two E. coli strains isolated from diets were identical to one strain isolated from food handler from H2 and two of S. aureus isolated from diets were identical to one strain isolated from food handler from H1. This study shows that the enteral feedings showed unsatisfactory sanitary-hygienic conditions in both hospitals and the hand contact is probably one of the sources of greatest significance for enteral diets contamination in the hospital environment.
