However, it was also demonstrated that the gloves were more slippery than bare skin, suggesting that the increased grip forces observed when wearing gloves may have been related to lower friction between the object and glove surfaces.
This, however, will be impossible to achieve by use of antibacterial coated glove surfaces, as no applicable antimicrobial compound, regardless of its concentration, will achieve a 3 5 seconds claim, leaving aside methodological problems to demonstrate this even under controlled settings such as in a laboratory.

The sensor is attached to the glove surface and connected to an electrochemical workstation using copper wire.
Differently to conventional non-coated examination gloves, coated gloves allowed recovery of a mean of < log10 1.70 cfu per contact surface after 1 minute direct contact with contaminated skin followed by 5 minutes contamination free rest, and showed a remaining mean contamination of log10 2.31 cfu per glove surface after 1 minute contact with a sterile stainless steel coupon.
Regardless of test bacteria, non-coated examination gloves allowed recovery of a mean of log10 6.91 cfu per stainless steel coupon surface after 1 minute direct contact with contaminated skin followed by 5 minutes contamination free rest, and still showed a remaining mean contamination of log10 6.90 cfu per glove surface after 1 minute contact with a sterile stainless steel coupon.
The detailed bacterial counts expressed as mean log10 cfu, stratified by type of glove and sampled surfaces are summarized in Table 1 and depicted in Figure 1.
Basic hygiene protocols such as hand washing, the use of gloves and keeping surfaces clean are essential first infection prevention and control measures.
Potential risks can be minimised by reducing transducer contamination, better US probe decontamination after every patient and by the use of appropriate US gel: 1. Reduction of US probe contamination (use of probe covers) Basic hygiene protocols such as hand washing, the use of gloves and keeping surfaces clean are essential first infection prevention and control measures.
Decontamination of all equipment, surfaces, gloves, etc. with 20% Lysol ® followed by 10% ethanol was done between strains to alleviate the chance of cross-contamination.
In conclusion, it appears a generous treatment with bleach or CoPA solution is best to decontaminate surfaces, gloved hands and compatible equipment when performing contamination-sensitive experiments and also when in contact with PCR products that could contaminate subsequent sensitive experiments.
Prior to work, gloves and work surfaces were pre-rinsed with DNA away solution (Molecular BioProducts).
