Experten fordern jetzt, dass im (britischen) Gesundheitswesen ebenso strenge Hygienevorschriften wie in der Lebensmittelindustrie gelten sollen - die u.a. das Tragen von Schmuck und falschen Fingernägeln während der Arbeit aus Gründen der Infektionsvorbeugung verbieten.
For the study, two strains of MRSA were inoculated on to bed linen, keyboard covers and acrylic fingernails. When these were tested periodically, it was found that the bugs remained at detectable levels for eight weeks on acrylic fingernails, six weeks on keyboard covers and five days on bed linen.
"The results of this study clearly demonstrate the need for frequent hand-washing and environmental disinfection in healthcare settings," said Mr Owens.
