The impact of climate factors to the incidence of a positive findings of Staphilococcus aureus in a nose swab of certain categories of employees in the Pirot district from 2014. to 2016
Uticaj klimatskih faktora na učestalost pozitivnog nalaza Staphylococcus aureus-a u brisu nosa određenih kategorija zaposlenih u Pirotskom okrugu od 2014. do 2016. godine
Abstract
Of the bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus, the aureus variety is almost always pathogenic. All pathogenic Staphylococcus are excreting coagulase, so this test is taken to determine the Staphylococcus virulence. Staphylococcus is very widespread in nature and are found in water, air and dust. They are very resistant to high concentrations of salt and sugar, and are often found in foods. The pathogens of Staphylococcus aureus are often found to be part of a normal flora in the nasal cavity of healthy people of 20-60% of the population. Pathogenic Staphylococcus secrete enterotoxin which is thermostable. When, under favorable conditions, Staphylococcus is multipling in food, the created enterotoxin causes food poisoning in humans (Intoxicatio alimentaris). That is why, for certain categories of employees, medical examinations that include bacteriological examination of the swabs of the throat and nose on Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase are positive. We have processed microbiological reports of the nose swabs of certain categories of employees District of Pirot for the period from 2014. to 2016. and observed whether these results can be explained by the climatic conditions of certain seasons in which these checks were carried out. The highest percentage of positive Staphylococcus findings in the nasal swab was during the summer (7.6%), then winter (7.37%), autumn (6.85%) and the smallest during the spring (5.17%). This result is explained by the effect of factors that affect the occurrence of the disease (low winter temperatures or artificial low temperature formation in relation to the outside environment during the summer, cold weather, consumption of cold drinks, ice cream, easy dressing, use of air conditioners, dealing with a certain jobs that requires low temperature operation). These factors are most apparent at very low or very high temperatures, i.e. during winter and summer.
Sažetak
Od bakterije roda Staphylococus, varijetet aureus je skoro uvek patogen. Svi patogeni stafilokoke luče koagulazu, pa se taj test uzima za utvrđivanje virulencije stafilokoka. Stafilokoke su veoma rasprostranjene u prirodi te se nalaze u vodi, vazduhu i prašini. Veoma su otporne na visoke koncentracije soli i šećera, pa se često nalaze i u namirnicama. Patogeni Staphilococcus aureus se često nalazi kao deo normalne flore u nosnoj šupljini zdravih ljudi od 20 do 60% populacije. Patogene stafilokoke luče enterotoksin koji je termostabilan. Kada se, pod povoljnim uslovima, stafilokoke namnože u hrani, stvoreni enterotoksin izaziva trovanje hranom kod ljudi (Intoxicatio alimentaris). Upravo zato se kod određenih kategorija zaposlenih vrše zdrav stveni pregledi koji obuhvataju i bakteriološki pregled brisa ždrela i nosa na Staphylococcus aureus, koagulaza pozitivan. Obradili smo mikrobiološke izveštaje brisa nosa određenih kategorija zaposlenih pirotskog okruga za period od 2014. do 2016. godine i posmatrali da li se ti rezultati mogu objasniti klimatskim prilikama određenih godišnjih doba u kojima su ti pregledi izvršeni. Najveći procenat pozitivnih nalaza stafilokoka u brisu nosa je bio za vreme leta (7,6%), zatim zime (7,37%), pa jeseni (6,85%), a najmanje za vreme proleća (5,17%). Ovakav rezultat objašnjavamo dejstvom faktora koji utiču na pojavu bolesti (niske temperature zimi ili veštačko stvaranje niskih temperatura u odnosu na spoljnu sredinu leti, nazeb, konzumiranje hladnih napitaka, sladoleda, lako oblačenje, korišćenje klima-uređaja, bavljenje određenim zanimanjem koje zahteva rad na niskim temperaturama). Ovi faktori najviše dolaze do izražaja tokom veoma niskih ili veoma visokih temperatura, tj. tokom zime i leta.
