20.500.12556/RUL-113072 Students' mobile phones - how clean are they? Mobile phones can act as a potential microbiological threat, serving as vehicles to transfer contamination from place to place. The aim of this study was therefore i) to detect the contamination rate of mobile phone surfaces with microorganisms and organic matter using ATP bioluminescence tests; ii) to identify and to quantify the microorganisms present on mobile phones’ surfaces owned by different groups of students, divided according to their course of study; iii) to examine the success of different methods for the elimination of microorganisms from mobile phone surfaces. About 60 % of 35 mobile phones exceeded 100 RLU according to ATP measurements. In 90 % of 90 swabs taken from mobile phones, more than 5 CFU/100cm2 were determined. In addition to total aerobic mesophilic microorganisms (90 %), bacteria of the genera Staphylococcus (65 %) and the Enterobacteriaceae family (39 %) were most often identified. Among all tested procedures for the elimination of microorganisms from surfaces, a putty containing a special antibacterial compound proved to be the most effective. The results show that mobile phones can be considered to be a factor of microorganism cross-contamination. microbiological examination mobile phones students true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2019-12-02 09:24:02 2019-12-02 09:24:04 2022-08-25 03:52:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2012 0 0 Str. 6-18 no. 1 Vol 6 dec. 2012 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614:579 1854-0678 URN:NBN:SI:DOC-YSRB19HA 4502123 216969216 RAZ_Ovca_Andrej_2012.pdf RAZ_Ovca_Andrej_2012.pdf 1 C6C1527D36CC932963CAF02247A1FD35 6b79cdf8793c627a92aaf77203c8982d258e3573f0406a5b0e17f87deea7c39a 04b8bdc7-a1b8-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=125040 http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-YSRB19HA 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=125136 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
