background and aims. although wearing a white coat is an accepted part of medical and dental practice, it is a potential source of cross-infection. the objective of this study was to determine the level and type of microbial contamination present on the white coats of dental interns, graduate students and faculty in a dental clinic. materials and methods. questionnaire and cross-sectional surve...
b ackground: health care-associated infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitals. reports have shown that nurses’ uniforms are sources of health care-associated infection transmission. the present study assessed the rate of bacterial contamination of healthcare worker’s white coats in two tertiary hospitals in mashhad, iran. methods: 300 healthcare workers participa...
introduction: it is a common protocol to use 201tl for the rest and 99mtc for the stress cardiac spect imaging. theoretically, both types of imaging may be performed simultaneously using different energy windows for each radionuclide. however, a potential limitation is the cross-contamination of scattered photons from 99mtc and collimator x-rays into the 201tl energy window. we used a middle en...
AIM To investigate cross contamination of blood cultures associated with multiple use venting devices, which are widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories to reduce labour costs. METHODS Systematic analysis of 13,880 blood culture results in a large teaching hospital where multiple use venting devices were employed. RESULTS Nine series of potential cross contamination were identifie...
conclusions according to this study, pumice powder and slurry used in dental laboratories of hamadan are contaminated. therefore, the laboratory staff should be aware of the hazards posed by the presence of pathogens in dental laboratories. materials and methods forty specimens, including 20 pumice powders and 20 pumice slurries were collected from 10 randomly selected dental laboratories and i...
Dried blood spots (DBS) are useful for molecular assays but are prone to false positives from cross-contamination. In our malaria DBS assay, cross-contamination was encountered despite cleaning techniques suitable for HIV-1. We therefore developed a contact-free laser cutting system that effectively eliminated cross-contamination during DBS processing.
A prospective study of false-positive cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that resulted from laboratory cross-contamination was conducted at three laboratories in California. Laboratory cross-contamination accounted for 2% of the positive cultures. Cross-contamination should be a concern when an isolate matches the genotype of another sample processed during the same period.
T he role of medical devices, such as bronchoscopes, in the transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) has long been recognized, however, the evidence that environmental and medical equipment surfaces play a role in the transmission of HAIs has been weak. Studies have demonstrated that pathogens can be transmitted from surfaces to personnel and patients, and that these pathogens ar...
