ABSTRACT
Out of hundred syringes and hundred needles (both presterile, disposable) tested, 41 syringes (41%) and 6 needles (6%) showed aerobic growth. Forty of the above syringes were tested simultaneously for fungi and anaerobes. Fungi isolated were 5.7% and no anaerobe was grown. Fifty glass syringes and fifty needles autoclaved in the departmental laboratory served as controls and did not show any growth. As a preventive measure, proper disposal of used disposable material should be made mandatory so that it does not find its way into the market. Or has the time come to switch back to the former conventional practice of using in house autoclaved articles?
