Introduction:Poor hospital building environment quality is due to presence of potential sources of airborne microbial and may lead to HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections). The research aimed to find out the relationship between the Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. in the air with HAIs incident potential.
Material and Method:This research was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital. This was an analytic observational research with the cross-sectional study design. Samples taken were human samples based on the criteria of the research as many as 61 patients, and the environmental samples were as many as 8 ICU rooms. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test.
Findings and Discussion:The research result indicates that the air quality related to the microbial pollution in the air in intensive care unit room does not qualify. The result of the microorganism culture and identification is found the HAIs causing bacteria namely Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. Based on the statistic test, the value of p=0.014 (95% confidence intervals) is obtained, so there is the relationship between Bacillus sp. with HAIs incident potential. The Enterobacter sp. bacterium indicates the value of p=0.437 (95% confidence intervals), so there is not have the relationship between the Enterobacter sp. bacterium with HAIs incident potential.
Conclusion:Bacillus in the air has the potential to cause HAIs in the ICU. Aspects of hygiene and sanitation appeared to be important factor in maintaining low microbial load in the air and further research is needed related to fungi and viruses in the air because of the potential source of HAIs.

Introduction:The swimming pool as one of the public places frequented by people for recreation and physical exercise must have water quality that is protected from Salmonella bacteria that can endanger public health. This study aims to determine the quality of salmonella bacteria and pH (Power of Hydrogen) in Andi Mattalatta Stadium swimming pool water and Hasanuddin University pool water before cleaning and after cleaning.
Material and Method:This research was conducted in the Andi Mattalatta Stadium swimming pool and Hasanuddin University pool water. This was descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional study design supported by laboratory examinations. Sampling each pool water two times ie sampling in the morning (after cleaning) and sampling in the afternoon (before cleaning). Pool water samples were examined in the integrated laboratory of the Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University, using Bismuth Sulfite Agar.
Findings and Discussion:The results showed that the water quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium after cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 8 colony/100 ml with pH: 6.0 and before cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 30 colony/100 ml with pH: 5.0. The water quality of swimming pool Hasanuddin University after cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 14 colony/100 ml with pH: 7.0 and before cleaning was found Salmonella Sp. 38 colony/100 ml with pH: 7.0. Water quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium and Hasanuddin University pool already has been polluted by Salmonella Sp. and pH quality of swimming pool Andi Mattalatta stadium doesn’t qualify.
Conclusion:It is recommended to the pool manager to improve the pool water disinfection system to reduce the total salmonella colonies that endanger visitors.
