Summary

A study entitled „Surveillance of Infectious Complications in Hemato-oncological Patients“, was conducted at the Department of Hemato-Oncology, University Hospital Olomouc from 1 July 2010 to 31 August 2011. During the study period, a total of 96 patients were hospitalized at that department and 63 stem cell transplants were performed, 43 autologous and 23 allogeneic. Microbial contamination was monitored in indoor air, on selected surfaces, and in health care providers (right hand smear, left and right nostril swabs and scalp hair smear). Opportunistic Gram-negative bacterial strains were selected from the cultures.

Key words:
Gram-negative bacteria – immunosuppression – resistance – biofilm
