Abstract

Enterobactericeae are gram-negative rod bacteria which are often pathogenic bacteria that cause nosocomial infections. Enterobactericeae bacteria have several characteristics including small size and rod shape, natural habitat in the digestive tract of humans or animals and some others originate from bodies or inanimate objects, are motile and non-motile, cannot form spores, and are aerobic to facultative anaerobic. Nosocomial infections are infections that are acquired during the health care process at the hospital, but are not present when the patient is admitted to the hospital. The source of transmission of nosocomial infections can result from direct or indirect contamination in the health care process in hospitals. Common nosocomial infections include Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI), Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), Surgical Site Infection (SSI), and nosocomial pneumonia consisting of Hospital Acquired Pneumoniae (HAP), Ventilator Associated Pneumoniae (VAP), and Health Care Associated Pneumoniae (HCAP). The Enterobactericeae bacteria that often cause nosocomial infections in hospitals include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp, Enterobacter sp, Pseudomonas sp, and so on. Nosocomial infections have a negative impact on the health recovery process of inpatients in hospital, so they need to be handled well and preventive efforts are made to avoid this undesirable event through health service efforts that comply with standard operational procedures and pay attention to aseptic principles.

Abstract

Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important indicator that reflects both musculoskeletal health and overall well-being. Hand grip strength is widely applied in research and clinical practice because its measurement is simple, reliable, and able to represent overall muscle strength. The assessment of HGS is conducted using a handgrip dynamometer, which operates based on specific principles. However, the limited literature on normative data for young adult populations hinders the interpretation of handgrip performance in this age group. One normative study reported that in healthy young adults, the average HGS reached 36.32 kg in men and 22.96 kg in women. These values may vary depending on ethnicity, level of physical activity, and lifestyle habits. Factors influencing HGS include body composition, anthropometric characteristics, sex, age, nutritional status, and physical fitness. Physiologically, men tend to have higher HGS than women due to differences in muscle mass, hormonal levels, and muscle fiber distribution. The decline of HGS with increasing age is closely related to sarcopenia, a condition characterized by reduced muscle strength, mass, and function associated with aging. Therefore, maintaining handgrip strength from an early age is crucial to support daily activities, preserve independence in older age, and serve as an indicator of future health risks.
