Abstract (English): Objective: analyze the microbiological quality of water services hospitalization, ICU and surgery two health institutions in the Eje Cafetero during the third quarter of 2015. Materials and methods: observational, cross-sectional study water samples were taken three critical points as are operating rooms, hospital and intensive care unit. One sample was performed prior to disinfection tap and another after disinfection to thereby determine if the filter installed on the taps influenced microbiological results, the samples were analyzed by membrane filtration. Results: we found that in one of the institutions there are large presences of molds and yeasts, mesophilic aerobic; in older and unviable before performing disinfection sanitary tap concentrations. And present in lower concentration post-disinfection possibly due to the lack of disinfection of storage tanks and faucets. In the second institution no significant counts of microorganisms were presented. Conclusions: an institution has health unfeasibly water in one of its critical points due to the high presence of molds and yeasts, and mesophilic aerobic, which precludes their consumption by decree 2115 of 2007, and international standards.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: analizar la calidad microbiológica del agua de los servicios de hospitalización, Unidad de cuidados intensivos y Cirugía pre y pos desinfección de grifos de dos instituciones de salud del Eje Cafetero durante el tercer trimestre del 2015. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo observacional, transversal, Se tomaron muestras de agua de tres puntos críticos como son área de quirófanos, hospitalización y unidad de cuidados intensivos. Se realizó una toma de muestras antes de realizar la desinfección del grifo, y otra después de la desinfección para de esta manera determinar si el filtro instalado en los grifos influía en los resultados microbiológicos, las muestras se analizaron por filtración por membrana. Resultados: se encontró que en una de las instituciones existen gran presencia de mohos y levaduras, aerobios mesófilos, en concentraciones mayores e inviables sanitariamente antes de realizar desinfección del grifo. Y con presencia en menor concentración pos-desinfección posiblemente debido a la ausencia de desinfección de grifos y almacenamiento en tanques. En la segunda institución no se presentaron recuentos significativos de microorganismos. Conclusiones: una de las instituciones cuenta con agua inviablemente sanitaria en uno de sus puntos críticos, debido a la alta presencia de Mohos y Levaduras, y aerobios mesófilos, el cual imposibilita su consumo según el decreto 2115 de 2007, y normas internacionales.
