Abstract
This article presents the results of testing methods for detecting bacteria of the Staphylococcus aureus species in the air environment of healthcare facilities in a model experiment in a closed laminar flow hood using typical strains of microorganisms and isolates isolated during air monitoring. The tests were carried out in the microbiology laboratory of Republican unitary enterprise “Scientific practical centre of hygiene” in the 1st quarter of 2021 – the 2nd quarter of 2021. It has been established that the optimal volume of air taken to monitor compliance with the hygienic standard for Staphylococcus aureus in 1 m3 is 500 dm3 per 2 cups. This amount of sampled air will allow the counting of colonies, taking into account their morphology.
