This research was initiated to determine the microbial load on endotracheal tube and its elimination by optimizing appropriate dose of gamma radiation. The selected samples were checked for the presence of microbial flora. Different types of media (Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar, potato dextrose agar) were used for enumeration and isolation of microbes. Bacteria were identified by staining and biochemical characterization was done by using API 20E kit. Results of this study showed that Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common inhabitant of...
