Results
• Overall, 8 (20.5%) were contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria including S. aureus, Pseudomonas putida and coliforms.
• One of the latter bacteria being resisitant to ampicillin.

Scanners Results
• Bacteria were cultured from 14 of 16 scanners (88%) examined.
• All the bacteria cultured were environmental pathogens.
![Page 28: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• There was wide variation in the number of CFUs cultured from different scanners.
• The highest counts being obtained from scanners adjacent to main operating theaters, the day- surgery unit and the administration block.

Card Cleaning Results
• No bacteria were cultured from swipe cards following a 30s wash with hibiscrub or a 15s with an alcohol- soaked swab.
• 31 CFUs were cultured from cards cleaned by washing in soap and water for 30s.

Scanner Cleaning Results
• No bacteria were cultured from scanners following cleaning with alcohol swabs.
![Page 33: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Conclusion
• The majority of cards and scanners were contaminated by environmental bacteria with low pathogenic potential.
• Bacteira with significant pathogenic potential, and implicated as causes of nosocomial infection were isolated from 20.5% of swipe cards.
![Page 35: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Conclusion
• Two thirds of these 20.5% pathogenic contaminated cards were kept in wallets or pockets.
• Large numbers of bacteria were transferred from card to scanner, and scanner to card during experimental use.
![Page 36: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conclusion
• All contaminated cards were carried by consultants and middle- grade surgeons suggests that duration of use of a card may be of relevance.
• Previous cleaning of swipe cards by owners resulted in a notable, but non-significant, reduction in the number of CFUs isolated.
![Page 37: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conclusion
• Cleaning cards and scanners with alcohol in a controlled fashion effectively removed all bacteria.
![Page 38: Security swipe cards & scanners are potential reservoir for hospital aquired infection](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/556326c0d8b42a811a8b589b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusion
• There is no corrolation between colonisation with pathogenic bacteria and any of the other recorded parameters, including how the cards was carried, frequency of use, areas of use and cleaning practice.

Methodology Critique
• The three methods of cleaning the swipe cards were not well described.
• In the methodology: the researchers did not justify the fluctuation in incubation temperature.

• Always be sure of wearing such cards on a necklace or belt.
• Be aware of cleaning that card and its scanners with alcohol.
