ABSTRACT
Staff is the main cause of contamination in aseptic drug production process, due to microorganism and non viable particles. The goal of this paper is to isolate
staphylococcus aureus strain from the staff working in clean rooms. Nasopharyngeal swabs were performed on this staff. 50 strains were isolated. Six were sthaphylococcus aureus, (12 %). Other microorganisms were isolated which are considered pathogen germens since they are located in the area. Results express how important personnel monitoring is as parts of the Environmental Monitoring Program in the Pharmaceutical Industry, mainly in aseptic process.
