Retracted: Investigation of Bacterial and Fungal Load of Five Printing House in Kahramanmaraş City

Abstract

Employee health is one of the most important issues in the printing sector as well as in all sectors. In addition to the chemical substances used in printing, some of the pathogenic bacteria and fungi that are formed in the environment may threaten the working health if factors such as the printing materials used, humidity and temperature in the environment can not be controlled. In our study, it was aimed to determine the bacterial and fungal load in the internal environment of the printing house operating in different regions in Kahramanmaraş Province. In the scope of the study, petri plate method was used for indoor sampling. Rose Bengal Streptomycin Agar (RSBA) was used for sampling. After sampling, incubation was performed at 270C for 7 days. After incubation, morphological characteristics of fungal colonies were examined and pure cultures were transfer to selective media. Fungus colonies were identified as genus and species level with morphological characteristics. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the printing house staff were exposed to indoor pathogens intensely. The most fungi are Penicillium and Aspergillus species were found to be followed by Cladosporium and Alternaria species. Among these species, species known as allergy sources have been identified. In such environments, it is necessary to take preventive measures for these microorganisms.

The works submitted to our journals are first judged grammatically. After this phase, articles are sent two reviewers. If necessary, the third reviewer is assessed. In the publication of works, a decision is made by evaluating the level of contribution to science and readers within the criteria specified in the writing rules. Reviewers are requested to submit their assessments within 30 days at the latest. The reviewers' evaluations and the answers to these evaluations are reviewed by the editor and it is decided whether the work will be published or not.
