    Objective To explore the distribution of pathogens and risk factors of neonatal hospital infections. Methods A retrospective survey was conducted on 1 569 newborns in the neonatal ward of a certain hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. Hospital clinical medical records and pathogen isolation and identification results of blood, sputum and umbilical secretions were collected, and the univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for nosocomial infection in newborns. Results The incidence rate of nosocomial infection was 4.91%, mainly respiratory tract (50.65%), followed by urinary tract infection. A total of 85 pathogenic strains were detected in 77 children with nosocomial infection, mainly Gram-negative bacteria(60.2%), among which Escherichia coli had the highest proportion (47.05%). The proportion of Staphylococcus hemolyticus in Gram positive bacteria was the highest (9.41%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gestational age < 37 weeks, having three or more underlying diseases, hospital stay of≥7 d, amniotic fluid contamination, mechanical ventilation, feeding intolerance, mechanical ventilation and feeding intolerance were independent risk factors for neonatal nosocomial infection. Conclusions Neonatal nosocomial infection is mainly respiratory tract infection, and pathogenic bacteria are common with Gram-negative bacteria. Effective prevention and control measures should be taken especially for high risk factors to reduce the nosocomial infection rate.

    Objective To explore the feasibility of using phage Phi-X174 as indicator virus for evaluating the effect of air virus disinfection. Methods Phage Phi-X174 was nebulised into the air disinfection chamber. Referring to the requirements for the microbial counts of air indicators in China's air disinfection effect evaluation standards, the key parameters such as sampling solution, phage suspension titre, nebulisation time, nebulisation volume, etc were investigated to determine the generation mode and sampling method of phage aerosols, and the natural settling rates of phage aerosols at different time points were analyzed. Using the preliminarily established method, the killing effect of a photocatalytic disinfection technology on phage in air was evaluated. Results SM buffer was more efficient than PBS for phage Phi-X174 collection. When 1.5 mL of phage suspension with a titre of 3×108 pfu/mL was nebulized, the average phage concentration in the air disinfection chamber was 4.25×106 pfu/m3 with good reproducibility. The average natural settling rates of phage aerosols at 15 min, 30 min, 45 min and 60 min were 28.40%, 51.79%, 68.61% and 79.58%, respectively. The photocatalytic air disinfection technology was applied with high airflow for 45 min or low airflow for 60 min, and the average killing rate of phage could reach 99.9%. Conclusion Aerosol sampling with SM buffer and 1.5 mL of phage suspension with a titre of 3×108 pfu/mL as the nebulisation generating solution can achieve relatively stable concentration of phage aerosols in air for a certain period of time, with better test reproducibility, and higher sampling efficiency, etc., which is basically in line with the requirements of air indicator microorganisms.

    Objective To observe the effect of time and temperature on the concentration of available chlorine in a certain 84 disinfectant during storage. Methods The iodine assay was used to detect the changes of available chlorine concentration of a commercial 84 disinfectant after 12 weeks at 4, 10, 20, 30 and 37℃. The degradation rate was calculated and the high fitting curve of the disinfectant was plotted. Results After 12 weeks storage at 4, 10, 20, 30 and 37℃, the available chlorine concentrations of 84 disinfectant with initial available chlorine content of 72.31 g/L decreased to 59.90, 58.13, 55.60, 45.72 and 38.63 g/L, respectively. The degradation rates of available chlorine were 17.16%, 19.61%, 23.10%, 36.77% and 49.34%, respectively. The degradation rate of available chlorine in the first 5 weeks was significantly higher than that in the last 7 weeks at 5 storage temperatures. When the storage temperature was below 30℃, the available chlorine content was stable after 5 weeks. Conclusion The higher the temperature, the faster decrease of the effective chlorine concentration. At low concentration, decrease rate is relative slow, and the disinfectant is more stable.

    Objective To evaluate the effect of intensive terminal disinfection on nosocomial infection of multi-drug resistant orgamisms (MDRO). Methods The data from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively investigated as the pre-intervention group, and the data from 2020 to 2021 were prospectively monitored as the post-intervention group. The discovery rate, bacteria composition ratio, and detection rate of MDRO nosocomial infection before and after intervention were compared. Results On the basis of routine disinfection in a primary intensive care unit (ICU)medical area, vaporized hydrogen peroxide technology was used to strengthen the terminal disinfection. The discovery rate of MDRO nosocomial infection after intervention was 1.84%, which was lower than 2.83% before intervention(P<0.05). After the intervention, the constituent ratio of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) and carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens (CRSM) and the detection rate of nosocomial infection decreased (P<0.05). The detection rate of nosocomial infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) did not increase statistically, but the constituent ratio increased (P<0.05).Conclusion Intensive terminal disinfection can reduce nosocomial infections caused by MDRO, but we need to pay attention to nosocomial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), especially CRKP.

    Objective To observe the disinfection effects of a LED ultraviolet disinfection cabinet on different types of object surfaces, so as to provide a reference for the application of LED ultraviolet disinfection technology. Methods Using a carrier quantitative bactericidal test method, the LED ultraviolet disinfection cabinet was set to irradiate for 10 s and 120 s. The bactericidal effects on various carriers under different irradiation doses were observed. Results Irradiation for 10 s resulted in a log reduction of >3.00 for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on filter paper and part of stainless steel plates contaminated with TSB. Similarly, the log reduction values for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on glass slides, plastic sheets, and filter paper contaminated with 3%BSA were also >3.00. Irradiation for 120 s led to a log reduction of >3.00 for Bacillus cereus var. mycoides on filter paper contaminated with TSB, and a log reduction >3.00 for Candida albicans on glass slides and filter paper. For slides, plastic sheets, and filter paper contaminated with 3%BSA, Bacillus cereus var. mycoides also had a log reduction >3.00, and Candida albicans on glass, stainless steel, plastic sheets, and filter paper had log reductions >3.00. Conclusion LED ultraviolet light can achieve good disinfection effects on microorganisms on filter paper, with carrier types and organic contaminants significantly influencing its efficacy. Appropriate disinfection programs should be selected based on the material, cleanliness, and potential pathogens of the items to be disinfected.
