The main aspects that constitute a manual for the management of hazardous waste from hospitals, fundamentally the infectious ones, developed for the first time in the country at the National Institute of Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology are presented in order to contribute to the training of the staff that intervenges in any of the stages of waste management and so that this manual direct and perform all the activities in an adequate way as a basis to protect their health and develop their activity with more efficiency. Different international publications were adopted as references for the preparation of the manual and it presents two main aspects, the different stages in the implementation of an organized system of hazardous hospital waste management and the risks that for health and environment are associated with the exposure to them.

We studied a total of 366 strains of Staphylococcus isolated from patients with in-hospital infections from various hospitals throughout the country in 1991-1994 period. Of these, 303 strains were identified as Staphylococci aureus which were characterized using the following epidemiologic markers: phage typing, antibiotic typing and determination of enterotoxin production (A, B, C2, D and E. The most frequent phago types were 47,85 (13,80 %) and 53,54 (10,87 %). 64 strains resulted non-typable in a routine testing dilution (RTD) so, a one-hundred time more concentrated phago dilution, i.,e. 100 × RTD. Was used. Antibiotic typing revealed that the most frequente pattern of resistence was A-P (ampicilline- penicilline) with 37 strains and these two antimicrobial agents were present in 97,7 % of studied strains. The determination of production of enterotoxins A, B, C2, D and E disclosed that 30 % of strains were enterotoxigenic in which enterotoxin E-producing strains (14 %) predominated. There was an association of enterotoxigenic strains with those stains of phage group III and phage type 94,96. No relationship was found between the patterns of resistance and the identified phage types, which is explained by the small number of strains studied in each hospital. Sixty-three strains were identified as coagulase-negative staphylococci which corresponded to Staphylococci epidemidis. Fifty of them (79,36 %) were slime producers.

... Likewise, the competent authority should control the health risks derived from the inadequate management of solid waste from medical establishments and inadequate medical support services [52]. Proper management of hospital waste has a great contribution to public health, and it is advisable to raise awareness about proper management. ...

... Research developed in the last decades has shown the clinical condition of the mouth as an important attribute in the context of individuals' comprehensive health. Literature associates oral health as a risk factor for many clinical, specially infectious, complications (Diaz et al., 2000;Machado et al., 2000;Nelson et al., 2005). Thus, oral health care does not target only beautiful and healthy teeth, it participates significantly in quality of life. ...
