be higher than Gram-negative organisms. Organisms isolated from
the samples were staphylococcus spp, corynebacterium dipthesive,
Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Bacellus spp, streplococcus spp, listeria
Monocytogens, Buterococcus Feacalis, Enterobactor acrogens and
moraxella catarrhalis while staphylococcus spp were the most
abundant in the organism isolated.
