Anyone can be infected by a disease when in a hospital. The infections can come from
various bacteria, one of them is Staphylococcus Aureus. It was said by a Professor of
Master Program in Biomedical Science of Erasmus University Medical Center, Prof. Henri A.

Said by Prof. Henri that the infection which is caused by Staphylococcusaureus bacteria can
infect the incisions. According to him, the incision becomes the biggest contributor to the
infrection bacause of S. Aureus Bacteria.
Besides of incision. The infection of Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria can cause
Endocarditis, the infection in prosthetic device, CAPD peritonitis, skin wound, burn, and etc.
Besides the infection of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, the threat of patient safety can
be caused by the use of excessive drugs.
The use of drugs which can threaten the safety of a patient is an antibiotic. "Various drugs
will make the microorganisms become resistant which can threaten the safety of patient in
the future," he said.
To ensure the patient safety, some steps are stived, are to reduce access to the operating
room, keep the room temperature, not to shave the patients’ skin, and the use of
antimicrobial prophylaxis appropriately.

reckoned with. A negligence of medical personnel can cause an error which can cause
minor injury to death.

medical staff medical reach 7-14 percent per year, or about 50,000 to 100,000 of the death.

percent of patients injured because of the negligence, and there are 8 percent died.
"We medical staffs are a human being. So we also can make mistakes. But we try to
minimize the errors," he said.
Meanwhile, the guest lecture of Prof. Henri A Verbrugh., MD., Ph. D., FIDSA is an activity
which is held by Master Program in Biomedical Sciences (master program in biomedical
sciences) Medical Faculty of UB.
The event was financed by PHK UB which was gotten by the Master program in Biomedical
Sciences.
The guest lectures is the beginning of the series of visiting professor including the assisting
International Journal Writing which will be held for three days (24-26 / 11). [Oky/translated by
