Tap to "Tap", Pathobiome Associates Health Care

The bacteria live in community and in some cases it is the combination of several microorganisms that facilitates transmission and pathogenicity. The concept of pathobiome follows from this finding. Investigators hypothesize that the microbial community water point is a pathobiome influencing installation and transmission of pathogens associated with care

About this study

Goals :

Key: To study the impact of bacterial communities on the risk of transmission of waterborne pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients hospitalized from a contaminated water source by this bacterium.

secondary:

  • Assess the role of communities on installing the water points in P. aeruginosa by comparing contaminated and uncontaminated water sources.
  • To evaluate the effect of the quality of water and the conditions of use of water points network on the composition of bacterial communities associated or not with P. aeruginosa.

Experimental Study conducted from 6 points of water, contaminated deliberately experimental backs onto the project to assess conventional and alternative measures decontamination network and water points

Treatment and study plan

mouth swab

Other

Levy to make inside of the mouth with a swab on the day of admission to hospital and the day of release at the patients in the Otorhinolaryngology

Primary outcomes

  1. Presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Time frame: Entrance hospitalization (Day 1)

    The presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa will be made from a buccal swab in all patients admitted to the hospital entrance.

    Mark of Pseudomonas aeruginosa will be done with and without trypticase soy broth enrichment and isolation on selective agar cetrimide Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The enrichment will detect a port at very low inoculum knowing that the purpose of the analysis is to detect passing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the environment to the patient regardless of the associated infectivity. The identification of certainty will be carried out by MALDI-TOF. If several morphotypes are visualized on agar Cetrimide they will all be identified and kept under custody broth at -20 ° C.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Presence of infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Time frame: Exit hospitalization (Day 10)

    The presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa will be made from a buccal swab in all patients exit hospitalization.

    Mark of Pseudomonas aeruginosa will be done with and without trypticase soy broth enrichment and isolation on selective agar cetrimide Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The enrichment will detect a port at very low inoculum knowing that the purpose of the analysis is to detect passing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the environment to the patient regardless of the associated infectivity. The identification of certainty will be carried out by MALDI-TOF. If several morphotypes are visualized on agar Cetrimide they will all be identified and kept under custody broth at -20 ° C.
