The dishwasher rubber seal acts as a reservoir of bacteria in the home environment

2019-12-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> In modern lifestyles, people make everyday tasks easier by using household appliances, for example dishwashers. Previous studies show massive contamination of dishwasher rubber seals with fungi, thus bacterial community, able to survive under harsh conditions, remain undetermined. Methods Bacteria that colonise the extreme environment of household dishwasher rubber seals were investigated usi...
