English Abstract
The study was conducted on four steam baths in Tripoli at a place where people are located for the purpose of treatment or relaxation and recreation.
The samples were collected by means of a cotton swab from the steam room, roof, walls and floor.
The total colony counts based on sampling sites was the highest number of bacteria: floor, walls, roof, and less in the steam room.
The predominant species were gram-negative rods (49.4%), gram-positive cocci (45.6%) and gram-positive rods (4.9%) respectively.
Based on biochemical test and the Api 20E system, the following types were identified (Escherichia coli, Edwardsiella Tarda, Aeromones hydrophila, Vibiro alginolyticus, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Salmonella choleraesuis, Xanthomonas maltophilia, and Shewenella putrefacien followed by positive spherical bacteria and Staphylococcus epidermis, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Micrococcus roseus respectively.
: The results also showed that the highest total number of bacteria in the baths in this study was higher in S1, U2 and lowest in W3.
