Abstract

The objectives are to improve the rapid identification method of microbial risk and cut off the route of transmission of resistance genes. When new pathogenic microorganisms are found, intervention can be carried out as early as possible to identify the risk of potential pathogen transmission, and timely cut off the transmission route. Hospital air samples were collected to analyse the distribution of environmental pathogenic microorganisms and the characteristics of ARGs resistance genes. The air samples were collected from 12 sampling sites in the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University. In the infusion room, general ward and intensive care unit, no significant difference was found in microorganisms, and no significant difference was found in microbial resistance genes. There were some differences in resistance genes between east and west districts. Combined with the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and resistance genes in our hospital, it is necessary to improve the daily disinfection measures such as air conditioning and fresh air equipment, cut off the infection route, block the transmission of resistance genes, and monitor pathogens and resistance genes in airborne diseases.
