Özet:

 This study, it was aimed to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the sinks, faucets, and door handles of the toilets actively used by boys and girls in nine faculties located on Yozgat Bozok University Erdoğan Akdağ campus. 54 swab samples were taken from the sinks, faucets, and door handles of toilets, which have the largest share of the main sources of bacteria transmission, between April and June 2019. Each swab sample brought to the laboratory via a cold chain was inoculated separately on 5 sheep blood agar, EMB agar and Mac Conkey agar. In 34 62.96 of the swab samples taken, a total of 49 pathogenic bacteria were detected, growing singly or in multiples. Of the 49 bacteria detected, 15 were 30.6 Escherichia coli, 12 were 24.5 Staphylococcus aureus, nine were 18.3 Klebsiella spp., six were 12.3 Pseudomonas spp., five were 10.2 Proteus spp. and two were 4.1 Enterococcus spp.
