Abstract
⺠Long-term care facilities in South Taiwan had a cockroach infestation rate of 65.2%. ⺠Indoor sanitation had a significant association with cockroach infestation. ⺠From 250 cockroaches, 63 species of bacteria were isolated. ⺠Antibiotic resistances were found in the isolated bacteria. ⺠Cockroaches are potential vectors for pathogens in long-term care facilities.
