Understanding the impact of different hand drying methods on viral aerosols formation and surface contamination in indoor environments
Background: As COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, compliance with good hygiene practices has declined. Hand drying can help remove microbes that remain on hands following poor hand washing. We looked at the potential of new electric hand dryer models to disperse microbial droplets and aerosolized particles during hand drying, to understand if there is a potential infection risk. Methods: We used both a food dye solution and a bacteriophage soluti…
Assessment of potential for viral contamination of user and environment via aerosols generated during hand drying
Background: Hand drying is an essential step of hand hygiene, helping remove microbes remaining on hands following handwashing. However, it is unclear whether particles dispersed or aerosolized during hand drying can also have an impact on microbe dissemination and so pose an infection risk. Methods: We used a PR772 bacteriophage to investigate whether microorganisms remaining on hands can disperse in the washroom environment and contaminate face…
Risk Factors for Primary Clostridium difficile Infection; Results From the Observational Study of Risk Factors for Clostridium difficile Infection in Hospitalized Patients With Infective Diarrhea (ORC…
Background There are conflicting data on the risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in the literature. Aims To use two C. difficile infection (CDI) case-control study groups to compare risk factors in hospitalised patients with diarrhoea across different countries. Methods A multi-centre group of CDI cases/controls were identified by standardised testing from seven countries from the prior EUropean, multi-centre, prospective bi-an…
