摘要: We asked 14 professional cleaners (laundry services) to clean various unused (new) linen and clothing items with a microbial contamination level of <1 cfu/cm(2) then evaluated the bacterial/fungal laundered or dry-cleaned items. After laundering, 6 (21.4%) 28 samples from 4 (28.6%) were contaminated (1-1,200 cfu/cm(2)). dry-cleaning, 2 (7.1%) (14.3%) (7-10 The main contaminant was Bacillus cereus. No sample showed Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination. All investigated in this study used batch-type washing machines. Therefore, machines can cause B.
