Outline of Final Research Achievements

Isolates recovered from 292 bidet toilets in a university hospital after sampling of water-jet nozzles and toilet seats with swabs were characterized using antimicrobial susceptibility. S. aureus was recovered from one water-jet nozzle and 9 toilet seats of which MRSA was found in a water-jet nozzle and a toilet seat of different toilet. P. aeruginosa was isolated from 6 water-jet nozzles, no isolate was shown to be multi-resistant. PFGE pattern analysis showed no similarity among the P. aeruginosa isolates. Both a nozzle and a seat of same toilet were contaminated with E. coli which were CTX-M-9 type ESBL producers and presented the identical PFGE pattern.
Our results suggest that the frequency of fecal contamination of water-jet nozzles in a hospital is high. Furthermore, the findings are consistent with transient contamination of electronic bidet toilets including MRSA and ESBL-producing organisms with identical PFGE patterns.
