Produktbeschreibung
The risk of infection attributed to Health Services Waste (RSS) makes it mandatory to adopt prior treatment or disinfection of the biological materials generated, as a means of reducing or eliminating the microbial load. The presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the infecting fractions of the RSS, after the processes of biological decontamination, amplifies the importance of technical-scientific discussions about the risk of infection associated with these biological materials, and the importance of normative regulations regarding the final management of RSS by the health services. It is also highlighted the microbiological characterization of RSS proving the presence of microorganisms of interest to public health, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the relevance of identifying properties of this pathogen (the infection and the dynamics of its transmission) related to biological materials from patients with Tuberculosis.
