Study Shows Bacteria Spread In Hospital by Nurses Hands
New York researchers report that hospital nurses carry bacteria on fingertips even after washing. Fingerprinting 150 recovery room nurses showed over half harbored bacteria. germicides reduced colonies by up to 71 percent, while inert foam left more. After patient contact, counts rose in the first two groups, suggesting routine hand scrubbing after each patient contact breaks the cycle of exchange of organisms.
