Three sets of swab specimens, labelled A, B and C, were taken from the perineum in the theatre. Specimen A was taken before cleaning and disinfection of the skin with Savlon\u00ae (Chlorhexidine- cetrimide mixture), specimen B after disinfection and draping, and C after completion of the operative procedure. Specimens were processed on standard laboratory media for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and yeasts. <i>Results:<\/i> Of the 114 patients studied, 43 (37.7%) had a positive culture for significant microorganisms in specimen A, 7 (6.1%) in specimen B and 13 (11.4%) in specimen C (A vs. B p < 0.001, A vs. C p < 0.001, B vs. C p < 0.01). The commonest isolates in specimen A wereGram-positive organisms (84.1%). The positive-culture rate for patients with end-stage renal failure was 71.4%, for those with a urethral catheter it was 53.8%, for those without systemic diseases it was 36.6% and for patients with diabetic mellitus it was 28.1%. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> About 38% of patients undergoing cystoscopic procedures had a significant positive perineal culture, with <i>Staphylococcus <\/i>species being the predominant skin flora. The bacteria culture rate was affected by the presence of systemic diseases. The use of Savlon to disinfect the perineum resulted in a significant reduction in the bacterial count of the perineum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000167837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,11]],"date-time":"2008-12-11T14:35:10Z","timestamp":1229006110000},"page":"403-408","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Study of the Bacterial Flora before and after Antiseptic Skin Preparation of the Perineum in Male Urology Patients"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Elijah O.","family":"Kehinde","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuf","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fathima","family":"Khodakhast","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wafaa Y.","family":"Jamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Seshah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent O.","family":"Rotimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1464-410X.2005.05801.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1442-2042.2006.01221.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-5347%2805%2967997-9"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1464-410x.1999.00011.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs003450050085"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-5347%2805%2968185-2"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-5347%2805%2965859-4"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1464-410X.2002.02902.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0195-6701%2887%2990144-7"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-5347%2805%2965294-9"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2Fend.2004.18.891"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0002-9610%2864%2990046-7"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308%2F003588405X60614"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbmj.2.5205.1039"}],"container-title":["Urologia Internationalis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/167837","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/167837","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T23:34:51Z","timestamp":1745451291000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000167837"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000167837","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-1138","1423-0399"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0042-1138"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0399"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
