Staphylococcus was the most frequency with 46 (38.3%) and Bacillus species with 26 (21.67%) had the second highest contamination level. Corynebacterium was the least frequency with 1 case (0.83%). In 9 infected phones (5/7%), more than one microorganism had grown. contamination in Intensive care unit (ICU) was more than general units (p< 0.001).
