Journal Title: Indo American Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

Mobile phones present a potential threat in transferring the infectious agents among the patients in a hospital. But it remains unnoticed due to lack of enough awareness about the use of mobile phones. Since there were no adequate data about the risk of mobile contamination among the lab technicians working in clinical laboratories, the present study was designed to examine the role of lab technician in transferring pathogenic organisms. In addition, the present study was performed to create awareness about the health risk caused by mobile phones as a fomite and to insist the cleanliness of mobile phones after every use. Keywords: Lab technicians, Mobile phones,Staphylococcus aureus
