Potential sources of contamination on textiles and hard surfaces identified as high-touch sites near the patient environment

7 Jul 2023

Abstract excerpt

The hospital environment represents an important mediator for the transmission of healthcare-associated infections through direct and indirect hand contact with hard surfaces and textiles. In this study, bacteria on high-touch sites, including textiles and hard surfaces in two care wards in Sweden, were identified using microbiological culture methods and 16S rDNA sequencing. During a cross-sectional study, 176...
