  • The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different methods of hand washing by counting the number of bacteria on the hand surface. Eighteen clinicians were chosen and divided into three groups, consisting of six clinicians each. Culturing of the right raw palms of all individuals was performed. Individuals in the control group washed hands for 5 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 1 washed their hands for 10 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 2 washed with an instant alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After the respective washes, re-culturing of the right raw palm was done for each member of all groups. The colony-forming units (CFU) were calculated at each time point, and the reduction rate of CFU among the three groups were statistically evaluated using student t-test. All groups showed a significant decrease in CFU, according to the time applied (P<0.01). In addition, the reduction rate of CFU between the groups were statistically evaluated with ANOVA (P<0.01). It showed statistically difference between the control group and group 1, control group and group 2. The present study confirmed that the hand washing method with antimicrobial soap for 10 seconds and hand sanitizer, including alcohol, were excellent for decreasing the number of bacteria on the hand surface.

  • Chitosan non-woven fabrics were acetylated to improve their antimicrobial properties. The active chlorine content, antimicrobial properties, storage stability, and surface properties of acetylated chitosan non-woven fabrics were investigated. The active chlorine content of the fabrics increased upon reduction of the degree of the acetylation or increase in sodium hypochlorite concentration. Acetylated chitosan non-woven fabrics showed powerful antimicrobial activity by efficiently killing Escherichia coli and forming a growth inhibition zone for Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy observations demonstrated that the acetylated chitosan non-woven fabrics were not damaged in sodium hypochlorite solution.

일 지역 대학생의 세정제를 이용한 손 씻기 후 유해 미생물의 차이: 일반세정제와 항균세정제 차이를 중심으로 (Comparison of Bacterial Cultivation Results before and after Hand Washing from a College Student in Gangwon Province, Korea: Using Plain and Antibacterial Soap)

  • Purpose: This study investigated the microorganisms in the hand before and after hand washing, using plain and antibacterial soap. The purpose of this study was to provide details, for educational purposes, of hand washing methods that should be used by college students for their hand hygiene. Methods: This study was arranged using a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. Data obtained through questionnaires were collected from college students in Gangwon Province. This study involved three groups under different conditions. The first and the second group washed their hands with plain and antibacterial soap, respectively. The third group members were educated about hand washing and they then washed their hands with plain soap. In addition, we collected samples to investigate the removal rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause bacterial disease, by using sterile swabs from the hands in group 3. Results: The removal rates of bacteria in the first and the second group after hand washing with plain and antimicrobial soap were 62.7% and 76%, respectively. The third group, who were educated concerning proper hand washing, showed a figure of 72.8%. Conclusion: Repeated and more consistent education of college students concerning proper hand washing would be important in order to improve their knowledge, attitude, and performance with regard to hand washing.

  • This study was focused on the sanitary analysis of hazard factors and the establishment of critical control points on steak-set menu In hotel by the documents and microbiological investigation. The hazard factors of shrimp cocktail were microbial contamination, residual pesticides, unsuitable healing and cross contamination. The hazard factors of potato soap were residual pesticides, microorganisms contamination, unsuitable heating and solanine in potato. The hazard factors of simple salad were microorganisms contamination, unsuitable heating and cross contamination by inappropriate package. The hazard factors of steal were residual antimicrobial drugs, microorganisms contamination, unsuitable heating and cross contamination. The critical control points of shrimp cocktail were temperature control , number of washing and center temperature control of heating step. The critical control points of potato soup were stock temperature control , number of washing and center temperature control of Heating step.

  • 세정제로 손을 씻는 것은 감염의 가능성이 있는 미생물을 줄이는 중요한 방법이지만 재사용하는 액체 형 세정제는 외부의 오염에 취약하다. 이 연구의 목적은 공공화장실에서 사용하고 있는 액체 세정제의 오염도를 측정하는 것이다. 저자는 6개 건물에 있는 58개의 공공 화장실에서 액체 형 손 세정제를 조사하였다. 균의 동정은 전통적인 생화학적 검사와 질량분석기를 이용하였으며 항균제 감수성 검사는 Vitek II 시스템을 이용하였다. 58개의 화장실 중 27개(46.55%)의 화장실에서 세정제를 다시 채워 재사용하고 있었으며, 이들 중 25개(92.59%) 화장실의 세정제가 세균에 오염되어 있었다. 오염된 균은 1.6×103 to 2.7×105 CFU/mL의 범위였으며, Serratia liquefaciens (12 균주), Achromobacter xylosoxidans (9 균주), Serratia marcescens (4 균주), Staphylococcus pastueri (1 균주), Achrombacter spanius (1 균주) 순으로 분리되었다. A. xylosoxidans 1 균주를 제외하고 같은 건물에서 분리된 같은 균 종은 동일한 감수성 양상이었다. 결론적으로 오염된 손 세정제로 손을 씻는 것은 공공보건 시설에서 세균의 전파가능성이 높일 수 있으므로 면역이 감소한 환자들이 이용하는 병원의 화장실은 손 세정제를 재사용하는 것을 제한할 필요가 있다.
