Microbial Contamination in Reusable Healthcare Bath Basins: An Observational Descriptive Study.
The relationship between pathogens in the healthcare environment and healthcare-acquired infection has been well-documented in the literature. No study has been published since 2012 regarding the contamination of reusable bath basins. This brief report aims to determine if basin contamination remains a reservoir for bacteria that may contribute to the risk of spreading microorganisms to vulnerable patients. We address this question with data from multiple sites over ten years.
