E. coli recovery from antimicrobial hand towels used in rural households in Kenya.

Sunkyung Kim1, Robert Quick2, Christine Stauber3, Jared Oremo4, Jennifer Murphy2.   

Abstract

An antimicrobial towel designed for repeated use was developed to prevent recontamination of washed hands after drying. This field trial in Kenya found that nearly all antimicrobial hand towels and untreated control towels were contaminated with E. coli after household use. The antimicrobial towel did not inactivate E. coli. Published by Elsevier B.V.
