Abstract

In India, nurses wear white coats over their uniform. In this small study, patches of polyester and polyester cotton blend fabrics were attached to the white coats of nurses and sampled for contamination after one shift. Results showed that microbial adhesion is influenced by fabric type, with the microbial load on the polyester cotton blend fabric being 60% higher than that on the polyester fabric. Further studies need to be conducted to establish the correlation between fabric properties and microbial contamination.
