- Please refer to the given scenario below. What is the most appropriate sample to be collected to isolate the causative agent of the infection? * A 46-year-old male encountered a motor-vehicular accident (MVA) resulting in multiple injuries on his anterior chest and left lower extremities. Aside from the injury, his medical history was unremarkable. The patient was admitted for nine days and underwent debridement and was discharged with an external fixator. However, during his admission, on his 7m post-operative day, the wound was noted to have persistent purulent, bloody discharge from drain site, which is highly suggestive of surgical site infection (SSI).

- I need help answering this question to my professor: The topic for the discussion was this one: Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use.
