Effect of hand wash agents on controlling the transmission of pathogenic bacteria from hands to food.

摘要: The goals of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness two hand wash regimens in reducing transient bacteria on skin following a single and subsequent transfer ready-to-eat food item, freshly cut cantaloupe melon. number recovered from hands quantity transferred melon significantly less use an antibacterial soap compared with plain soap. antimicrobial achieved >3-log reductions versus Escherichia coli 3.31- 2.83-log Shigella flexneri. failed achieve 2-log reduction against either organism. handled by treated averaged 2 log. Melon washing had >3 log experiments. Based previously published feeding studies, infection rate range approximately 15 25% would be expected after ingesting containing CFU comp...
