Özet

The aim of this study was to determine the microorganisms in playgrounds and sport complexes and to offer solutions for prevention methods. For this reason, equipment used by many people and toys in the playgrounds, especially the parts that handled and contacting to body, and swimming pools were preferred. The samples were put into bloody EMB and Sabouraud Medium, waited in 37 degree incubator and they were evaluated after 24, 48 and 72 hours. As a result of the study 218 (77,03 %) microorganisms were reproduced (217 bacteria and 1 fungus). The surfaces that bacteria were obtained from: 50 from plastic surfaces, 46 from ceramic surfaces, 43 from rubber surfaces, 31 from metallic surfaces, 25 from wooden surfaces, 17 from swimming pools, and 6 from others. 175 (80,64 %) reproduced bacteria were specified as human pathogen. The bacteria that reproduced the most were Staphylococcus hominis ssp hominis (17). As a group, the bacteria group that reproduced the most was again staphylococcus (67). Cleaning these areas regularly and inspecting them are very important in terms of infection risk. While doing sport personal precautions like wearing gloves should be considered in order to be protected from such kind of infections.
