Aeromicrobiological survey of indoor and outdoor in two

health facilities in Abeokuta, SWNigeria was conducted using

standard methods. Bacterial and fungal isolates sampled

from different wards (male, female, children, maternity and

gynaecology) and outdoor were subjected to antibiotics,

antimycotics and disinfectants susceptibility testing.

Resistant strains were identified using standard marker gene

sequences for DNA barcoding (16S rRNA for bacteria and

internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for fungi). Multidrug-

resistant strains were identified as

Staphylococcus aureus,

Klebsiella michiganensis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans,

Aspergillus flavus

. Phylogenetic analyses showed that

isolates were specific to their local environment. This is the

first report on the presence of

Klebsiella michiganensis

an emerging clinical pathogen in air samples in many

tertiary facilities in Nigeria. Regular disinfection of hospital

environment and monitoring of air quality should be given

priorities to prevent hospital-acquired infections of resistant

pathogens.
