CONCLUSION
Recently, nosocomial infections are rising at an alarming rate. The causes of these infections in hospitals can be connected to increased microbial load of fomites of these places. The data from this study indicates that there is a high level of bacterial contamination on door handles of hospital washrooms. This is of tremendous clinical significance, because of its potential to cause epidemics in hospital. Moreover, the antibiotic susceptibility of isolates showed resistance to at least two antibiotics. Furthermore, it indicated a plausible similar scenario in other hospitals or places. The rise of antibiotic resistance in microbes, especially pathogenic organisms can lead to lethal outcomes. Therefore, it should be tackled with high importance. However, this problem is not limited to this area of study alone. Thus, this will require combined effort of governmental, private organizations and individuals to educate the population on personal and environmental hygiene.
