- <p class="Abstract"><span>Background: Hospital surfaces are key reservoirs for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span>Objective: To evaluate bacterial contamination and associated risk factors.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span>Methods: A cross-sectional study (n = 70) was conducted using standard microbiological techniques and antimicrobial susceptibility testing based on CLSI guidelines. Statistical analyses included chi-square, odds ratios, and logistic regression.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span>Results: Overall contamination was 77.1%, with higher rates on high-touch surfaces (up to 80%). Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent isolate (33.3%). Multidrug resistance (MDR) was identified in 41.5% of isolates, particularly among Gram-negative bacteria. Logistic regression showed elevated contamination risk (OR: 1.21–1.68), though not statistically significant.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span>Conclusion: Hospital surfaces play a critical role in pathogen transmission and AMR dissemination.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"> </p> <p class="Abstract"> </p> <p class="Abstract"> </p>
