Should electronic faucets be recommended in hospitals?

Iris F Chaberny1, Petra Gastmeier.   

Abstract

Microbiological examinations of electronic faucets newly installed in a hospital kitchen revealed high bacteria counts and Pseudomonas aeruginosa during a 6-month period of observation. Our data suggest that the use of electronic faucets poses a potential risk for nosocomial infection in high-risk areas of hospitals.
