Resumo
The frequency of yeast contamination in the hands of hospital personnel was
verified in thirty health workers, including mirses, non nurses and doctors at
tlie intensive care unit and also at the pediatrics wards. The collection of the
material was made through the washing of the hands of the staff in sterile
saline. The yeasts were isolated in cloranfenicol-added Sabouraud dextrose
agar and species identified according to the following determinations:
Reynolds Braude's test (germ tube), production of pseudohyphae and
chlamidospores ín microcultures, carbohydrates fermentation and
assimilation of different carbohydrates and nitrogen sources. We observed
that 73,3% of the individuais presented yeasts in their hands, with a Cândida
albicans predominance. The observation of other yeasts such as Cândida
tropicalis, Cândida fugosa, Cândida famata, Rhodotorula sp and
Trichosporon sp was less frequent.
